I don't think most of Trump's critics could even explain to you what a tariff is, let alone why its bad and the complexities of how they function. Including in being reflected between nations.
They were just told its bad because he does it, and thereby its bad because he is doing it. Everything else is just backtracing to justify it from there.
I also doubt that a single lefty could tell you the history of tariffs and balance of trade from 1940 onwards without a trip to Wikipedia. Bretton Woods, the Marshall Plan and trying to "rebuild" Europe for 40 years broke the back of the U.S.
