The tariffs were based on trade deficits

This is fundamentally false.  Even the UK that has a surplus was smoked with a tariff.  Many countries were.  It's a scam.   Other countries don't have the wealth or population to match American spending.   So a trade deficit is more a show of American wealth they an attack from a foreign country. There are tariffs on contries where no humans. This is a scam on American consumers and businesses alike.  It's objectively apparent.
