Mr Trump, who called himself "tariff man", has pledged to be even more aggressive on trade should he be re-elected.

Tariff Man, Tariff Man, imposing Tariffs where he can. He strokes his pen, the whole world groans, the cost of living goes up at home. Look out! Here comes Tariff Man!

Mr. President, can you explain in detail how this increase in tariffs will benefit the US economy?

I’m not going to do that for you. I’m just tariffing here.
