Will the wages increase more than the prices?

Aren't most things Americans buy imported or contain imported parts (for example all electronics)?

Won't a decrease in exports, because of other nations ti-for-tat tariffs, decrease wages for many US workers?

In aggregate things will get more expensive, but purchasing power of some will increase. Or at least that's the idea.
That "some" probably won't include most Trump supporters.
