Trump is going for a 1-2 punch. First tariffs and then tax cuts to soften the blow of price increases. It also puts republicans in a choke hold to force the tax cut legislation through, because the fallout of tariffs with no tax cuts would be a death knell for the party.
Maybe in a sim city game this would balance out, but it's a tall order for a real world scenario. Prepare for a bumpy road ahead.

I mean, they could vote down the "emergency" Trump is using in order to obtain the authority to enact these tariffs instead, and that would be so much less work. But of course they won't go against their Dear Leader.
omg do you think elon started playing simcity recently, trying out all these ridiculous things, and now he's advising donald to do same in the real world, because he's convinced it'll work based on the simcity experience?
It’s all a grift for the wealthy anyway. He doesn’t care about the hurting 50k a year worker. Low income MAGA voters are just fodder for Trump to enrich himself and the wealthy around him.
