which products or companies get tariffed then he may be able to pick "winners" and "losers."

The tariff thing kinda reminds me of WMD. Serious military or trade problems don't just pop up overnight out of nowhere. There's usually a lead-in that the media report on and warn about. WMD popped up out of nowhere (likely to justify starting a war) and was later investigated and proven false, that Iraq had had no WMD since at least 1991. Now tariffs have also magically appeared out of nowhere to be a solution without a problem. Years ago TSF probably imagined that tariffs are an easy way to tax other countries. He still seems to believe that.
