I’m a trustworthy individual. Tariffs hurt far more people than help.

The problem with Billionaires isn't that they can be bought. Its very unlikely. Its their ego. You have turds like Gates (wants to blot out the sun over the climate farce) and Soros ( a communist physcopathic reprobate) who think they are geniuses when they aren't.

Musk however is a pretty bright guy. But they all have egos, agendas and the money to pursue their agendas to the benefit or detriment of the rest of us.

Dan it really very simple, we are the largest consumer economy in the world, as such we have an ability other countries do not. We are the worlds leading super power, that comes with many responsibilities if we want to be good stewards, which I agree that good stewardship is currently somewhat questionable, and it comes with many advantages. When foreign countries are taken us for granted and taking advantage of us, tariffs are a wake up call for these countries to get back to doing what is right.
Take Mexico as an example, is it right they allow illegals free range to cross our borders illegally, free to flood our country with drugs, allow free access for the Cartels? Of course not but Mexico's government is corrupt and highly influenced by the Cartels. How do you provide Mexico's government the motivation to stop doing what is clearly wrong? You first threaten to tariff their exports into the US and if they don't listen you enact the tariffs to motivate them to do what is right.
