But on Tuesday evening, he argued that the tariffs had enabled him to provide aid to farmers and forced manufacturers to build plants and data centers in the US.
“It’s amazing,” Trump said of tariffs at a campaign-style rally in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania. “It’s the smart people understand it. Other people are starting to learn, but the smart people really understand it.”

The bar for Grifty is so low that nothing he says is Stupid....
Personally, I think the bar is just a little too high for YOU to understand !
1) IF a nation builds products using "slave" labor (like China does), and can sell the products in America BELOW what American companies can profitably produce... paying American workers, American wages... It won't be long before those American industries will close ! BASIC economics... and is what happened to America about 30 years ago !
2) IF that happens and a nation wants to fight back, Tariffs can be imposed to OFFSET the foreign subversion of American industries, and let American businesses reconstitute themselves, OR, foreign companies can be "encouraged" to RELOCATE to America... employing American workers, and paying American wages... (i.e. manufacturers to build plants and data centers in the US.)
THIS is something SOME PEOPLE might THINK is "stupid" (i.e YOU)... but is REALLY "TOTAL GENIUS", and TRUMP has USED the concept to begin the RE-VITALIZATION of America's RUST belt... bringing $20 Trillion of foreign investment back to America, by foreign companies who are going to BUILD in America, employ American workers, pay American taxes, AVOID the tariffs, and REBUILD Americas Rust Belt in the process!!
AND YOU... YOU SAY?: "The bar for Grifty is so low that nothing he says is Stupid"?.... HA!! WOW... THAT, in and of itself, is just SO VERY. VERY, STUPID !
AMERICA, and AMERICANS, NEED to WAKE up… There is NOTHING “Democratic” about the CURRENT American “Democrat Party”! THEY are more an amalgamation of Totalitarian Marxists, Socialists, Communists, and Globalists… who are BENT on TAKING, and then KEEPING power... & where ultimately the American PEOPLE will have NO SAY AT ALL in how we are GOVERNED... and our "Democracy" will be DEAD!!
