Federal spending is up. So there is a pretty big focus on generating new revenue to pay for it.

Most analysis so far shows that tariffs are being paid primarily by U.S. consumers and U.S. businesses. The foreign share (in the form of price cuts) is pretty low.

One of the impressive things about Trump is that he managed to convince a nontrivial percentage of conservatives to cheer for higher spending and new taxes to pay for it.

I don’t really believe he convinced anyone.

But everyone is too lazy to resist.
