Doubt he actually believes tariffs will make America more wealthy than relatively free trade. This is probably just to get the big tax cut extension pushed through.
So far that is pretty much all that has been promised. Even the no tax on tips, and no tax on overtime is not actually anywhere to be found.

Anyway, you sliced this this is not good for him.

We often accuse donald of being ego driven to a fault. I think that applies here to . He wants to create a legacy of accomplishments that no one will ever beat. His ego will not allow anything less.

Then he should just say that's what he wants to do so everyone can price in permanent tariffs and do away with the current uncertainty.

It’s not all that radical or that new, before 1913 we had something similar. One of the main things of federal income tax did was ensure an ever expanding federal government.
my understanding was we kind of applied tariffs when we needed them to pay the bills. Andrew jackson cleaned up his deficits with tariffs.

you keep wanting him to play poker by putting his cards face up on the table. I think you have to realize we wont win anything doing that and move on.
