The Republican platform relies on obfuscation. Jobs leaving due to manufacturing overseas? Immigrants are taking the jobs, and draconian business laws enacted by democrats are suffocating businesses.

The Chinese goods tariff is effectively a VAT that only poor people pay. He'd have been pilloried for imposing a Federal VAT of 1% but call it a tariff and everyone paying 25% extra for their Walmart garbage is right behind it, meantime he can use the money raised for corporate tax cuts.
When you think about its its pure genius - from the Republican plutocracy perspective - rob the poor to help the rich and furthermore the poor are loving it.
