People are overthinking this. Trump believes tariffs will make the US rich by protecting domestic industry from competition, raising revenue, and providing negotiating leverage. He's wrong about them making the US rich, but that's what he believes. It's not more complicated than that.

-Aluminum? The U.S. needs it. No obvious alternative at present. Now risks a 50% tariff tomorrow
