not exactly shocking, not the first time Trump has made tariffs. Last time they drove the cost of house construction up.

Does Trump not know what a tariff is? Or does he know, and he is deliberately misleading his followers?
He likely understands what a tariff is well enough. His problem is that he either doesn't understand the implications or chooses not to communicate that part to voters.
He understands tariffs in his terms - that "tariffs" is a useful word to trick people into doing what he wants. How tariffs work in the real world is irrelevant to him, the word gets him what he wants, and that's all he needs from tariffs.

Saw an interview of Bernie Sanders in 2003. This level of ignorance was manufactured by the GOP by creating millions of single issue voters. It’s all about divide and conquer. If you look at GOP rhetoric it’s always issues meant to divide the people. Abortion, lgbtq, war. Instead of voting based on a platform, now millions of people vote based off abortion or Gaza for example. This is how they get people to vote against their own interests
