Chips are in everything, and they're mostly made in countries Trump is putting tariffs on.  Prices for all electronics will go up. the electronics that businesses need to produce and sell things in the USA will increase in price, and those increases will get passed on to consumers. 

All the cloud providers prices will go up, all their customers will raise their prices on goods and services to compensate.  

I thought Trump was going to stop inflation?
