I think it's the same with the tariffs. In fact, I think it's the same with everything he promises. He'll do a token amount of each horrible thing before he gets bored of it or it becomes obviously impractical (see: wall building).
Mostly he'll just make everything slightly worse and do a lot of corruption for him and his friends. Just a little light kleptocracy.
The tariffs might be real, whichever ones benefit his toadies, because you’re right that he is the swamp.
Light kleptocracy? I guess we can hope for the best, but Trmp says “no price is too high to deport illegals”.
