I suspect there are a lot of Americans like me, who watched those tariffs run daily costs from small items like my daily fix of good dark chocolate to unacceptable heights... and then watched larger items get priced out of affordability, and hope Trump is the last politician who thinks taxing consumers to help producers is a good free market practice. Of course Musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars to reinstall Trump into the White House, if the tariffs on Chinese Evs went away, so would Tesla.
