Ya know, to make money on Tariffs there needs to be a lot of trade going on.

But your Tariffs are killing the trade...

Just increase tariffs to compensate for the decrease in trades. /s

No doubt he's writing that down as we speak.

When he applied tariffs to washing machines in 2018, people stopped buying. Demand and production decreased resulting in domestic job losses.

Now, not everything is not a washing machine, but that doesn't bode well.

Anyone who thinks this is just a shortcut to prosperity needs to look at history. In a country that expelled the Democrats due to affordability issues, this is not going to end well.
