Big showy tariffs cost the US, and won’t get the US as much as good relationships do, not least because national leaders see domestic political benefit in standing up to foreign bullies.
But tariffs and related bluster put on a propaganda show for MAGA, and create more opportunities for corruption.

I think perhaps less obvious from the US, and DC/NY, than perhaps it is outside of it is that (a) domestic politics in other countries exist (b) a lot of countries can and will suffer economic harms in preference to suffering grave indignities on their national identity or perception of independence
