If someone explained to him what tariffs are and how they work without mentioning the president at first, and how it will impact his spending money, there's a chance he might finally admit to Trump making a mistake.

No, initial reaction would probably be that "you're wrong", and the importer is trying to stiff him and/or is a Biden's supporter trying to make Trump look bad or some other shit. After some time, he might come around, but the principle of a cult is no matter what fact and evidence you provide, they will dismiss them and refuse to change their minds.

You're probably right, sadly.
