He didn't have a pro tariff administration that time. His win was somewhat unexpected and it didn't seem like the republican party was ready for it. There were factions within the party that were not on board with his growing popularity.
He's surrounded himself with protrctionists now and he has a playbook (Project 2025) to follow.
This is going to have much longer lasting implications than anything from his first term. We're not even three months in and the entire world is rethinking the global economic structure and how the US should play a smaller role in it if it is no longer stable or reliable.
