It's not that it's hard to understand, it's that it's false. Importers directly and indirectly pay the tariff tax. Exporters indirectly carry burden of tariff tax.
The idea that citizens will pay for the wall via tariff is false news created by the news media. The proposed tariff would make these goods non-competitive and they would be replaced with cheaper imports from other countries. The tariff will not pay for the wall its simply a threat that Mexico must counter.
