Not sure if you are being facetious or not

It isn't specifically to "help us"

It does raise the cost of foreign products, and that simultaneously pushes down demand (furthering anti-consumerist behavior, something we probably agree is a good thing) and it can in some cases create situations where domestic demand for products and employment in related industries is increased marginally by the prices of foreign products becoming more expensive artificially.

If trump was our guy, he would put a 10,000% tariff on everything and we would go full Juche, which is what we should have been doing the whole time.

Not really, because trump doesn't fully understand tarrifs either. All he sees them as is a negotiating tool.

You would rather our workers have to compete on cost with foreign niggers who will work for a sack of rice a week?
