He still doesn't understand how tariffs work.

As I keep saying: It sounds like he thinks the word "tariff" just means "payment". Then he follows that with "[whoever he thinks should make the payment]". Tariff by Apple, Tariff by China, etc. Honestly. I don't know how else you can make it make sense.

My supposition is that he's a complete moron following advice from someone working off a protectionism 101 primer from 1834 who had Randian bullshit physically replace his brain to the point where they don't do the rest of the steps to make the protectionism work because that's the government doing stuff and therefore communism

True, but there's zero chance he had anything to do with this tweet.
