Is there any possible case as to how the US will NOT go into a recession when the tariffs are enacted?

The trade war is inevitably going to skyrocket prices in the US, leading to consumption going down, and US companies also getting screwed by tariff retaliation.

In that case, isn't a recession all but guaranteed? I just find it hard to see how the stock market won't tank with that soon. What is the possible case that a recession won't happen, save for Trump rescinding the tariffs? And even if Trump DOES somehow choose to rescind (which I find extremely unlikely since this man has too big of an ego to go back on any of his decisions), the US would've already lost all trust from the world causing the eventual USD collapse and this would instantly trigger the entire collapse of the US stock market

Someone please convince me otherwise
