This is different than the scorched earth strategy that was being predicted in another thread. So for example scorched earth would strongly oppose the tariffs being proposed. The above strategy would instead possibly side with Trump against his own party. Make no mistake: We should oppose the tariffs. They will hurt the economy far more than they will help. Trump's ideas are mostly going to be harmful. +1 here for scorched earth, not cooperation.
