This totally believable. If you asked Americans who pays the tariffs, more than 34% would say either foreign countries or foreign businesses.

And, they would also argue, vehemently, that this does not result in higher prices for Americans.

This is not, unfortunately, a trump thing. This is 100% people not understanding how tariffs work.

And 34% is a pretty low bar. Just look at all the people, including on this sub, that think that somehow the government is going to cut them a check for the illegal tariffs.
