   Trump puts insane tariffs on less developed countries that produce the clothes for US consumers, to force more companies to produce these goods in the US.

   US unemployment is just 4 percent, so what exactly is his plan? Fire doctors, architects and engineers and get them a job at the sewing factory?

     Always start with "Trump is corrupt".

     Tariffs give him control over access to the huge US economy, so people have to do favors for him to get/maintain favorable access to it.

     It's incredibly simple and obvious. I assume NYTimes, WaPo, and all the others haven't even put this forward as a possibility.
