I honestly believe Trump is misusing tariffs.

I honestly believe Trump is misusing tariffs.

They aren't being targeted against hostile countries (i.e. China) and they aren't being used to protect strategic industries (i.e. microprocessors). They are blanket tariffs on EVERYTHING of any value. They are nothing but a TAX HIKE. My guess is the plan is to print and tariff our way out of the federal debt as neither tax increases or true budget cuts will be politically acceptable.
