Ya know, to make money on Tariffs there needs to be a lot of trade going on.

But your Tariffs are killing the trade...

Just increase tariffs to compensate for the decrease in trades. /s

When he applied tariffs to washing machines in 2018, people stopped buying. Demand and production decreased resulting in domestic job losses.

Now, not everything is not a washing machine, but that doesn't bode well.

Anyone who thinks this is just a shortcut to prosperity needs to look at history. In a country that expelled the Democrats due to affordability issues, this is not going to end well.
