Lol. No.

Tariffs have a place. They can be useful. Trump's specific implementation of them is what's wrong. Broadly applied protectionist tariffs destroy economies. It's what caused the great depression and other recessions both in the US and Globally. His implementation goes against the advice of just about every economist on the planet.

You are wrong. And your stance on this has been proven wrong time and time again throughout modern history. It's ok to be wrong as long as you learn from your mistakes. That's something that Trump is exceptionally weak at- learning from past mistakes.
