Just the poor?

It's just tax. everyone gets hit. Some more than others.

If tariffs are a tax on the poor then what is sales tax?

To summarize my impression of Trump's line of reasoning from that interview, not that I agree with him:

1. America is in trouble.

2. Much of America's trouble comes from bad deals or lack of negotiation.

3. I am a great negotiator.

4. Tariffs are useful in several ways: tariffs for protection of favored domestic industries, low tariffs for revenue, and high tariffs for leverage in negotiations.

5. As President, I can use tariffs to negotiate good deals.

6. Therefore I can save America by tariffs and that makes the word tariff "the most beautiful word in the dictionary."

Both are equal to theft from people voluntary interacting.
