There's always more history to learn.
Like, Trump's most likely inspiration for tariffs (and his whole tyrannical style in general) came from Andrew Jackson - the only president to eliminate the US national debt by... using tariffs.
Which still led to a depression that got pinned on the next guy
Someone saw the fairly clueless talent needed for him to act like a billionaire tycoon for reality t.v. Did someone else see the same clueless talent and say this guy can be our puppet into the presidency, twice?
I'm sure the incoming government will be to make money from industry whether it's because trade is buoyant and more oligarch friendly policy will increase profits; or if it's because trade has ground to a stop and more oligarch friendly policy can reverse the position and increase profits

Make the US a colonial backwater again, just like when they signed the constitution!
