How long does it typically take for prices to return to normal after tariffs are removed?

I don't think I'm the only one that realizes that when customers are used to paying a certain price, they will continue paying it.

Tariffs are not paid by the sender (Me) or the receiver (my customers). They are paid at the border by the importer.

My prices do not “return to normal”. They either stay where they are or they go up.

Prices are going up regardless because:

If labor costs go up, materials costs, rent, etc I raise my product prices. If those costs go down, I keep my prices right where they are.

But the importer is now going to charge the receiver. As soon as the tariffs are gone, receivers are going to stop getting that surcharge.

I can only expect Trump to continue disrupting the business environment with his willy-nilly bullshit proclamations and I need to protect my business against that worthless orange auto-fellating facefucker

How should one respond to compliments such as "You are so special" and "I'm lucky to have met you" from a guy?
