Reagan had a robust manufacturing economy that could have been strengthened with a few well placed tariffs. But he was a deregulatory "free" trader.

He was a racist that hid his hate behind economic and political rhetoric. He wanted to do away with the idea that government should help the little guy, not just the filthy-rich. And he did a good job of it. He tore down useful and effective regulations allowing for monopolies, union busting and moving most manufacturing to foreign countries.

Pedo Trump, as a result of Reagan's and other Republicon's actions, got a low wage service economy with very little manufacturing. Tariffs do NOT help if you have NO INDUSTRY to support. Service economies rely on imports because they make nothing, they just sell other people's crap. But Republicons and pedo Trump don't understand economy and think they do. One size doesn't fit all.
