I would also suggest that when someone refers to themselves as a "tariff man", you might want to take that seriously.
The first round of tariffs played havoc on the agriculture sector and led to record farm subsidies, funded by taxpayers. That was only one industry.

"After a series of tariff increases on Chinese imports, the government of China retaliated against U.S. exporters, as predicted by trade analysts outside of the administration. As a result, U.S. exports, particularly of agricultural goods, dropped significantly. “Losing the world’s most populous country as an export market has been a major blow to the [U.S.] agriculture industry,” reported the New York Times in August 2019. “Total American agricultural exports to China were $24 billion in 2014 and fell to $9.1 billion last year, according to the American Farm Bureau.” In 2018, U.S. farmers’ soybean exports to China declined by 75%, according to the U.S. International Trade Commission."
The typical response to being the subject of tariffs is to impose retaliatory tariffs and shift your buying to alternative suppliers.
