But when one side isn’t playing fairly, you have to use every weapon in your arsenal to get bring them around.

I believe that’s what Trump uses tariffs for.

I don’t like tariffs and (IMHO) neither does Trump. You are right - he is using them as a weapon because he is dealing with countries that love them. I support that. And I expect Trump to win. He won’t end the trade gap but he close it.

But Tucker went beyond tariffs and Trump’s use of them. He leaned very strongly in favor of government intervention in areas of commerce that he (and probably all of us) see as unfair.

That sounds good. Democrats have been running on that sort of solution for a hundreds years or more. But it rarely turns out well. The urge to profit on rules made by Congress is just too powerful a force. More laws. More restrictions. More corruption. Less commerce.

Of course. Trump uses tariffs for leverage in bringing people to the bargaining table. Look how easily he postpones them or takes them back off after a short while.
