For a guy who claims to know everything, surely you realize that tariffs are paid by the American consumers and not by the countries importing goods. If you want prices to skyrocket, tariffs as you suggest are a great idea. Tariffs should be used when foreign goods are unfairly competing with US products and not as a punishment for that country, the only ones actually being punished are the American people. And unfortunately, there are some products that we have to import because they are not being made here or are not being made here inexpensively.Trump should hit Mexico with tariffs for the flood of fentynal and the 10 million illegals they pushed across our border. The wall is the least of the expenses they owe us.
While he's at it, he should slap a covid tariff on China to pay for the trillions they caused us.
Then he can slap another tax on China to shore up social security and Medicare.
