On the topic of tariffs, voters were outright lied to, so I won't criticize people for believing it. I'd be surprised if most people graduating high school now even know what a tariff is, much less how they work.
Bummer for us even more that the worst hasn't yet come on tariffs, and only because it takes so long for new trade agreements to take effect. In the next year or two Europe and China will have rerouted their trade around the US rather than through it.
