He's all for tariffs because they wouldn't affect his bottom line.

The fact of the matter is American consumers want cheap goods, which Trump's tariffs would obliterate. He wouldn't have the votes to do it if he got elected, for that reason alone. And I expect him to back off that rhetoric once the studies come out showing the American consumer just how bad it'd be for them.
