Inflation is not caused by tarriffs.

The problem with “managing” the economy is there are darn few direct relationships. That’s where this amount of X causes y amount of something else. One example is a government collects a million dollars in taxes, but it wants a million two hundred thousand. The simple answer is to raise taxes. More often than not the overall revenue from taxes will drop. That happens for a lot of complex reasons, but the point is, it isn’t that simple.
What government should do, or, rather not do, is try to manage the economy. Set a policy and see what happens. If you don’t get the desired result, end the policy. Trump, for I think valid reasons, is using politics to adjust the behavior of countries. WE, THE PEOPLE understand and will give him some leeway to get it right.
Indeed, I stopped reading right there.
