At its core, Tarifs were a way for countries to protect their industries from cheaper foreign goods. At times Tariffs we’re also used to prevent dollars leaving the country ( mostly used by third world countries). In modern times , the USA with the highest standard of living, lowere Tariffs to ensure that their populace had access to cheap goods, while also using it as a cudgel to get other countries to lower their tariff barriers., so us companies could increase their sales abroad. In an ideal world every country would export its most efficient product.
But you have to remember that the currency of the world is the dollar. More than tariffs, countries manipulate the exchange rate of their currency with the dollar to gain an advantage. The Chinese did this for many years by artificially pegging their currency at a lower exchange rate to gain a leg up.
But in this political atmosphere, Trump is using the levers of government to extract concessions for himself and his cronies, the country be damned. Hence this assault on every facet of Government, attacks on the lawyers, and a complete erosion of every institution.
But he is just a spokesman. The actual power is in the cabal of so called loyalists orchestrating this breakdown of democracy. Trumps bandwidth is not broad enough to envision all that he is doing.
If I am not mistaken, 70%of Americans didn't like the path biden had us on. (heck 66% didn't like biden) It's obvious the biden administration had nothing to do with "democracy" or any govenrment by and for the people. And how many times did the democrats say Trump was a danger to democracy? Several hundred in a week. And yet you folks keep trotting them out believing all of a sudden people will believe you? I'm beginning to believe that denialism is more contagious and debilitating than TDS.
Once again, if your reference is from the past, it is irrelevant.
