A lot of Trump's policies, the tariffs being a perfect example, rely on the ignorance of the general population.

It's scary how tremendously well this has worked out for him.

That’s why Trump thinks ”tariff” is such a ”beautiful word” - his supporters don’t know what it means, and if it’d been called something easier like ”import tax”, they might be more skeptical.
