The debate over tariffs has mostly emphasized their impact on economic growth and jobs, which overlooks specific stories of suffering caused by President Donald Trump’s trade war.

Below are more than 200 examples of the damage done by Trump’s tariffs, aggregated with Republicans Fighting Tariffs. The victims and their stories differ, but the catalyst is the same.

Businesses of all sizes have seen their input costs rise because of tariffs. To maintain already slim profit margins, many of these businesses have no choice but to raise prices. Call this the “Trump tax.”

But not all businesses can offset tariff costs through price increases, because their customers are price sensitive and will simply take their business to a foreign competitor. These companies have been forced to take cost-cutting measures such as laying off employees or forgoing expansion.

Then there are the countless farmers and exporters who have seen their markets dry up as trading partners impose retaliatory tariffs.

As Bob Woodward’s new book reveals, Trump believes that “trade is bad.” The president has tweeted that “trade wars are good and easy to win.” These businesses, whose numbers will grow exponentially if Trump follows through on new tariff threats, would beg to differ.

  1. ’47 Brand Hats: The Massachusetts company, which faces higher raw material costs thanks to Trump’s tariffs, cannot find domestic suppliers to produce hats. It is considering job cuts to compensate.
  2. 5th Avenue Energy: This small California renewable energy firm found that lighting fixtures and other Chinese imports are more expensive and harder to obtain because big contractors bought them up in anticipation of tariffs.
  3. A‑1 Signs: The Tennessee manufacturer depends on competitively priced steel to fabricate products and compete in a global marketplace. Tariff-induced steel price spikes have forced it to lraise prices, hurting consumers and pushing them toward cheaper foreign competitors.

It has passed on some of the costs through higher prices, leading some customers to switch to foreign vendors. “We have a lot of patriotic customers that want to buy USA-made kegs with U.S. labor and U.S. steel,” the company’s CEO says, “but they’re only going to go so far as that price difference continues to rise.”
  12. Americana Development: The Ohio wheel maker has been forced to raise prices due to tariff costs. As a result some customers have taken their business to Chinese suppliers.

  14. AutoZone: Tariffs are forcing the auto parts chain to raise prices on components made with steel, such as rotors and other brake parts.
  15. Auvil Fruit Company: The Washington fruit company is being squeezed by its Chinese customers because of retaliatory tariffs. It’s faced with a choice between sacrificing sales and dramatically reducing prices to account for the tariffs. “We lose all negotiating power or leverage in that equation,” the company’s CEO says, “because you can’t just sit on the supply and hope they give in. Our products will rot. So we sell and try to recover as much of our upfront cost as we can, just to minimize the damages.” Auvil has lost more than $2.2 million in profit.
  16. Batesville Tool & Die: The Indiana company may be forced to shift some production to a plant in Mexico in response to higher steel prices caused by tariffs.

  32. Cedar Ridge Winery: “They already have impacted our business,” the winery’s owner says. “When you hear about a tariff, you think we’re just going to raise the price in the other country. But it’s not their problem; it’s our problem, especially when you’re trying to start a new relationship with a new distributor in a foreign country. We ate the bulk of it. So yeah, it’s definitely affecting the bottom line.”
  33. Chibitronics: Tariffs have forced the New Jersey education technology manufacturer to choose between immediate price increases and cutting employee salaries.
  34. Chippewa Valley Bean Co.: Tariffs have drastically reduced the Wisconsin company’s expectations to ship 60 percent of its bean exports, worth $25 million, to Europe.

The company’s president persuaded the buyer to take the $23,000 shipment and pay the nearly $6,000 tax, but the buyer then canceled $92,000 worth of orders.

  65. John Heisdorffer: “Soybeans are the top agriculture export for the United States, and China is the top market for purchasing those exports,” the Iowa farmer says. “The math is simple. You tax soybean exports at 25 percent, and you have serious damage to U.S. farmers.”

Its customers have bailed as a result of supply problems.
  75. Infinity 8: The California exporter’s shipments of cherries to China have fallen from 10,000 cartons last year to 240 this year because of retaliatory tariffs.

  103. Ryan Mickelson: “The farm economy is not good right now at all,” the Iowa farmer says, “and if something doesn’t change, there is going to be a lot of farmers going bankrupt.

North Mississippi Grain Company: “Here in Mississippi in terms of soybeans, we are extremely dependent on exports,” says the export company’s owner, who is also a farmer. “And China is by far the biggest importer of soybeans in the world.

  163. Ben Steffen: The Nebraska farmer says tariffs have hit his pocketbook from several angles.
  164. Stephens Precision: The Vermont toolmaker is facing increases of 15 percent to 20 percent in prices for steel materials because of tariffs, meaning additional annual costs in the six figures, which will have a big impact on operating margins. “It decreases my profit margins while making it harder to compete with China, Taiwan and other low-cost countries,” the company’s general manager says. “A lot of time, we can’t raise our prices because that will just make our customers look elsewhere. We could potentially lose a job if we fluctuate our prices.” To compensate, the company has put planned wage increases and expansion on hold.
  165. Steve Madden: The footwear and accessory company is raising handbag prices and considering shifting production to Cambodia from China because of tariff costs.
