He thinks tariffs will work. Tariffs don't work. The Smoot-Hawley tariff made the depression a lot worse. He's made a lot of other anti-free trade statements.
In short, he's not a conservative. He's an opportunist. Hes in it for himself.
Trump has a history of giving money to whomever will allow him to make money. He strongly supported Kelo v. Connecticut. That decision allows your local gov. to take your property if they think they can make more money by selling it someone else.

Free Trade? Like the 5,000 page Goldman Sachs written TPP? That kind of “free trade”?
Really, on what basis should conservatives trust Goldman Sachs and their bought and paid for politicians to bring us folks on Main Street “free trade”.

We need a counter balance to the globalists and the threat of a few in kind tariffs is an excellent opening negotiating position, IMO. They really don’t want that.
YOu don't like eminent domain laws but you enjoyed your ride on the highway on in a train today, or your flight in an airplane, all of which are dependent on eminent domain laws...I see...

First off, there are many who say Smoot-Hawley had little if nothing to do with the Depression...Looking at the evidence that's available I agree with that premise...
Secondly, you're flat out wrong...Trump doesn't make anti-free trade statements...He makes 'unfair'-trade statements, often...Trump supports free, fair trade...Apparently you don't...
