Tariffs can be good when applied in limited, researched and balanced ways. Trump's "plan" is to just apply a 60% blanket tariff, which is what's really really bad.

In addition to the education you got below, Trump wants to apply a 20% tarrif across the board.

Not even remotely the same as keeping existing ones.

Don't "both sides" this issue.

You can't just undo tariffs by cancelling them.

So you tariff steel from china (or whatever), and they will tariff some of your exports (or other). Bad for everyone probably. But now it's done.

Removing the tariffs will only make things worse if china (in this example) isn't OK with rolling back what they did.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Plus, presidents regularly create carve-out exceptions to tariffs, anyway. This is likely overblown fearmongering.

Disowning current tariffs doesn't mean they'll go away, either, though.

Tariffs are easy to put in place, but hard to roll back. You can put then in place on a whim, basically, but then the target country will retaliate with their own. As a result, removing them requires diplomatic negotiation to make sure the removal is bilateral. That's not easy to do during times of icy relations like China and we currently have.

They could have titled this piece „Vote for Harris because Trump will make your toys more expensive”. Stating that they don’t know what Harris will do is not nuance.
