I agree that some of the trade agreements we've entered into in recent decades are heavily larded with cronyism, and I'd scrap them as fast as you would.

But trying to solve cronyism and over-regulation with tariffs is like trying to cure cancer by contracting syphilis.

A 20% tariff balances the budget tomorrow. Or yo could lower income taxes drastically on coronations. Or both. More tariffs and less income taxes.
