The GP is using a snowclone of the original: "It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy".
For example, if your boss is very rude and disparaging, but then he gets fired, you would say, sarcastically, "It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy", implying there's some element of karma at work.
By analogy, GP is saying these tarrifs were an undeserving act of vengeance. I assume "undeserved" in the sense that it wasn't deserved by those on the receiving end.
We already knew that Trump didn't care what the courts said, America is pretty much dead with trump, so nothing shocking, your deserved vengeance wasn’t delivered.
It couldn't happen to a more deserving act of vengeance.
Apologies, but I'm having a hard time parsing your sentence.
What exactly are you saying?

Free trade is leftist now?
I thought a minute ago "communist China" was the protectionist one and "free capitalist America" was the one in favor of free trade.
