You’re completely ignoring the substance of my posts and assuming I agree with your premise.
It is not the case that I think the tariffs, in and of themselves, will help small business or promote emerging US industry.
The goal is for other countries’ tariffs to be removed. Otherwise, Trump would not state that our tariffs will also be removed if the other countries reacted favorably.
Is it possible that another president comes into power and keeps them? Yes, but that’s not what we’re supporting.

His actual proposal (not what you are imagining in your empty head) is to extend the TCJA and to stop the SALT deduction cap. It has produced record revenues already. Your tax acumen is pathetic.

It does. But thanks for your concern.
Trump will go after corporate taxes to make up for his massive shortcoming.

Absolute crap. 2020 alone sank most small businesses and created huge profits for bigcorp.

Tariffs objectively destroy innovation and competition. American was built on speed, not protecting BigCorp

Opposite of his actual proposal. Prognosticator Roger is wrong yet again.

Trump is proposing reciprocal tariffs, right?
So he just want to impose tariffs on countries that have tariffs on us, right?
I would say his blanket statement and mostly. He's also using it to try and negotiate other things in trade as well.
So the reason there's usually more logic than they charge us 18% and so we charge them 18%. For example is this a good we are scared of and they have an abundance of? If so why do we care what they charge our companies to sell there when we need to buy from there. Adding a cost is adding friction to sales in our economy which I'm not a fan of.

If I sell widgets for $2 and IBChinaman sells them for $1.50 before the tariff and he still sells them for $1.50 after the tariff, how does that help me?
Tariff's should even the landscape, not "make" you competitive. Maybe the market is $1.50 for this widget and you are too expensive.

Two weeks in and the Commerce Sec is already targeting industries for higher taxes.

Wait until about the third quarter of this year, its coming.

If you really believe this, why the frick would you support them?
Do you really want to add cost to US consumers right now? And offer less choice?

It's a tax. You don't pay it directly businesses pay it when they import product from overseas. You pay it when those business pass the cost on to you by increasing their prices on the goods they sell to you.
Are Europeans complaining about the tariffs their nations place on our exports to them?

Most people that oppose tariffs are generally one dimensional thinkers. They can't fathom less welfare and a stronger dollar.
Do we still teach consumer math and economics in high-school?
I'm not sure why tariffs are so hard for the liberals to understand.

Mexico is doing this too. $42 per person "port docking tax". Maybe there is something else going on with the cruise industry.

Trump wants to devalue the dollar, not raise it.
quote:
Many of his economic ideas have become more extreme during his four years out of office - including proposals for massive tariffs and sweeping tax cuts, questioning of Federal Reserve independence and potential immigration crackdowns and deportations.
But one argument remains constant and is rooted in some economic logic: his insistence the U.S. dollar is overvalued.
