I sincerely believe that the current administration is not stupid about tariffs, and that they know exactly how chaotic this will be. They also understand that this allows them to dispense extremely valuable favors to businesses--in the U.S. and globally--who will really need them.

The Trump era has illustrated the human psychological quirk of trying to impose an imagined order onto a chaotic, irrational force. There are so many people who simply didn't believe that Trump is a crazed maniac because accepting that would be terrifying.

"Impoundment" is one of those words that's almost guaranteed to make normal people's eyes glaze over so I did not use it in this piece, but it's an extremely crucial issue! Executives having sole control of the fiscal powers of government is very very bad! No democracy can function that way.
