Watch the Louis Rossman segment of the video, where he actually makes a pretty good point about why the price doesn’t go back down: youtu.be/1W_mSOS1Qts?t=5774

Exactly. Uncertainty leads to higher prices, because businesses need to weather potential higher costs to them. Protectionism leads to higher prices, because it cuts out foreign competition, and competition is what leads to lower prices.
Louis Rossmann is 100% correct here IMO.
