      Not at all the same. That started as targeted tariffs as punishment for accusations of unfair trade. Tariffs have been frequently used in the past and targeted tariffs can be an important tool for specific types of trade issues. It did escalate into a trade war which didn’t help anyone, but with one specific country.

      That’s not at all the same as widespread tariffs, including starting trade wars against important allies and trade partners

        That’s the same bullshit justification Trump used. If the dems genuinely opposed with Trump’s trade war, they would have undone all his tariffs.
