Tariffs are a conservative idea. Every founder, conservative right?, were all protectionists, all of them. The FIRST law passed by the first congress was the tariff act.

Tariffs while there is a corporate and income tax is increased taxation. It results in increased cost of goods. That said, if Trump advocates tariffs on high priced finished products like cars, I’m fine with that. Implementing tariffs on tomatoes or $5 parts is a different story and should be subject to debate.
