Red herring fallacy. The topic here is not the targeted, judicious, and rational use of tariffs to protect important sectors while avoiding inflation spikes and minimizing retaliatory tariffs, but rather Trump's proposal for across-the-board tariffs of 20% (and additional 60%, 100%, 200% or whatever other number pops in his head). I can find no evidence that Bernie supports the latter, because he's not crazy.

It's not enough for some journalists and influencers to boycott the social media site formerly known as Twitter. Everyone needs to bail on it at once.

No matter what Trump says, tariffs aren’t paid by other countries—they’re paid by you, the consumer. If Trump were truly the business genius he claims to be, you’d think he’d understand that. But then again, his businesses have filed for bankruptcy six times.

56% of U.S. registered voters want higher inflation:

Because tariffs are ultimately paid by the U.S. consumers, not the foreign country importing the goods!
Tariffs are inflationary and equivalent to a regressive tax because they are paid by the US importer/ producer who passes that cost on to the US consumer.
Tariffs lead to price gouging by retailers if domestic goods do not have to compete with lower priced imports.

Voters narrowly support Trump's tariff pitch, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds

Donald Trump's campaign vow to increase tariffs on imported goods, particularly from China, has the support of a narrow majority of U.S. voters, according to a new poll.
