Trump’s stupidity has ruined the idea of tariffs for a generation, and thats very sad. Tariffs are good when implemented thoughtfully. Now, no voter will be willing to trust even well thought out tariffs and we will be worse for it as a country.It is literally economics 101 to use tariffs to increase revenue WHEN YOU HAVE A COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE ‼️ utilizing tariffs as a political weapon (internationally) does fucking nothing for a country that is a service economy. The few things we have a comparative advantage in do not account for the amount of imports that we need to support manufactured goods
