Other than American consumers ultimately bearing between 37%-60% of the economic burden from the tariffs (Goldman Sachs etc).

As for “shrinking the budget deficit,” if recent history is any indication, our government overlords will figure out how to spend away any windfall. Case in point, a record national debt and Operation Epic (AIPAC) Fury will only add to it.
