That's the only option anyone has. On Truth Social Trump said that the purpose of the tariffs is to punish Canada for wild fire smoke blowing into the US. If the fires go out, do the tariffs go away?
POTUS has said, out loud, repeatedly, that he wants to raise enough revenue with tariffs, to repeal the income tax. I take him at his word, on that issue. Doesn't matter what excuse he uses to impose the tariffs. Trillions in tariff revenue is the objective, to replace the $2.6T/year in individual income tax, and $452B/yr in corporate income tax.
According to the net sifter, the US collected $264.05 billion in tariffs in 2025, so buckle up for higher tariffs, much higher. to get to that $3T tariff revenue on the US' $4.33T in imports.
