Of course Biden did tariffs.
They were dumb.
Trump thought they were not dumb.
Both he and Biden were wrong.

Why in the **** would the Supreme Court rule that Trump's new tax is unconstitutional? They want him to collect more money from more Americans.

Biden doubled tariffs that Trump had put in place.
He was a dummy. Trump just tried to follow him. Please don't tell us that you think tariffs are good, or you'll only reinforce Trump's dumb actions.

Joe occasionally buys a lottery ticket, Don spends his days at the horse track and casinos and has a lean on his house, the titles to his cars, ran up his credit cards, and pawned his wife's wedding ring. It's totally the same thing huh?

Bob has an occasional drink. Bill drinks a liter of vodka a day, even wakes up in the middle of the night to get a drink.
Since Bob occasionally drinks, if you don't condemn Bob for his occasional glass of wine or beer, you are only reinforcing Bill's liter a day habit...
These comparisons you are making are really dumb comparisons. Sure, Biden's tariffs were often bad economic policy, yet you compare them to Trump's tariffs, which in size and scale represent the largest government intervention into the economy since the build up for WW2, moreover, they change on daily basis, often varying depending on what Trump saw on Fox News that day that pissed him off. Point being, only someone utterly lacking in critical thinking skills thinks the two are comparable, well that or someone that may not like Trump, but so pathologically hates Democrats, that they can no longer think critically.
Joe raised taxes by 20%, Don raised taxes by 2000%.... It's totally the same thing...

Except Trump's tariffs were broad and huge. About seven times as much if not more
Really not comparable

...while Biden's were very targeted and strategic.
