Trump's proposed tariffs aren't based on any logic. Their only purpose is for Trump to try to cosplay as a tough guy. That's it. Maybe he'll try to siphon off some of the money as well? It wouldn't be a surprise.

Don't most of our illegal firearms come from the states? Maybe we should double tariff them back!!!

Yes because tariffs that make legal imports more expensive are very effective at suppressing illegal imports, which don't pay tariffs at all, for reasons. Clearly this is the motivation behind them.
