You do realize that Trump completely backed off the tariffs that were announced on "Liberation Day," do you not? The actual tariffs ended up being a small fraction of what was announced, because even Trump could not ignore the shuddering of the bond markets. Had the announced tariffs actually been implemented, we would be in a very different situation right now.
I know math is hard...
