...that prompted your concise comment, the $200 billion is far, far less than what he claimed when selling this snake oil.
Remember the $1,400 per person "tariff benefit"?
$200 billion is 40% of what would be needed for that fantasy & tariffs were sold to cut income taxes & reduce the debt.
It's just a cascade of lies that stupid people bought.
