Whatever he can use and twist to his advantage he will do. The other day he was saying how the economy was great during McKinley because we had all these tariffs and bringing in the money. YES he does get it!! He knows, and lies to the American people. But tariffs are not a stable income for the government. Overseas manufacturers are now building plants in countries without the tariffs (Mexico, Thailand). Then what? No income. AND, The extra China tariff is 25% now. It needs to be 75-100% to get high enough to be competitive with a US made product. That’s more inflation. Either way, it’s us peeons that get the losing end.
