In what way do you think this tariff policy will benefit the US economy?

Has Trump ever done anything to indicate that he is smart or that all of his more outrageous ideas are actually just a negotiation tactic? I won’t deny Trump’s popularity, nor that most Americans agree with the broad vision he lays out for American society. But I can’t really remember any time he actually used a crazy threat to force others to negotiate for specific concessions. It was not smart to repeatedly claim an election was stolen from him. It was not smart to steal classified documents and lie to the FBI about his possession of them. Likewise, it is not smart to threaten broad tariffs. When Trump wants to negotiate, he’s very clear about it; during his first term he outright said he was sparking a government shutdown to force democratic concessions, and he made it abundantly clear he expected other NATO countries to raise their military spending. So I don’t know why he won’t come out and say exactly what he is negotiating for given his willingness to do so in the past

I am glad the democrats lost but i don’t really get the tariffs… my worry is that if trump fucks up the economy then the democrats will come back with the woke stuff.
