What about the other issues?

Tariffs are taxes. If you support higher tariffs you support higher taxes.

Higher tariffs don’t solve anything.

Lower taxes and tariffs solve just about everything.

Tariffs are taxes, but they put the burden of taxation on foreign corporations and on US companies who outsource rather than on capital that remains in the US. If high tariffs could be used as an offset to reduce/eliminate income or corporate taxes, that would solve many problems.

As to the other issues, I agree that Trump has done a lot of about-faces on more issues than you can count, which is why I don't really trust him. As I've said before, I'm undecided on Trump vs. Cruz, neither are perfect or completely trustworthy, but I'll vote for whoever gets the most delegates by Super-Tuesday and the best shot at stopping Rubio or whatever other establishment candidate is at the top of the pack. I still trust Trump to do the right thing more than I trust Rubio or Jeb.
