The primary purpose of the tarriffs are to syphon $ from "free trade" into the federal government to off set the tax cuts that will overwhelming benefit him and the other plutocrats.

Meanwhile, because he is for them and the loathsome libs are noting that ultimately WE will pay for them, their base LOVES them, in fact as with everything else with them the worse an idea is the more the embrace it, there is a growing interest in ending all federal income taxes in lieu of tarriffs. And, they are all eating up the "things were SO BAD we need to have some short term pain because the DT plan really starts to take effect!"

As with everything else at this point we are just going along for the ride.

Nothing to stop it.
