His only tool seems to be tariffs. It is his "hammer" and everything looks like a nail to him. He doesn't care how trade wars hit the poor and middle class the hardest and jack up the cost of living. It is bad enough that they are jacking up the cost of chinese ev cars while at the same time saying we need to go to ev cars by 2035.
Tariffs are great for his base because they see it as a tax on their perceived "enemies", when in reality they're the ones footing the higher prices.
