Some of those tariffs remain while others have expired. Then COVID.

On 24 February 2022, Russia launched a military invasion of Ukraine. Joe Biden's tenure as the 46th president of the United States began with his inauguration on January 20, 2021.

Trump targeted his tariffs first term. Read above.

Yes, it is just Trump that you do not like with every fiber of your being. The entire thread is riddled with examples of just that.

I too have watched my investments for retirement tank. For that I wish he used a precision instrument instead of a battle axe with these tariffs. However, my portfolio manager and other investment firms said to hold the line. Sadly, it will take 4-6 years to re-coop losses. Similar to 2008. But if is for a better future for my kids and their kids...so be it.

Yes, he did target tariffs in his first term, and I said he did not shotgun them like now.
