The definition of stupidity is to try things that failed in the past again in the hope to get a better result.

This is what happens when a populace isn't properly educated.
Prepare for this country to be on a downward slope for the rest of our lives. That's the most likely future for us.

It'll work this time... trust me bro!
Third time's the charm right? Right!?!?

If I recall my history right, the 1929 stock market collapse precipitated the Great Depression, and the tariffs were a (misguided) attempt at trying to set the economy straight.
Ferris bueller kinda called this one.
The bueller... bueller... bueller bit is preceded by ben stein explaining the Hadley snoot tariffs to a visibly bored and distracted classroom.

There's in general no way this can work long-term. When nations cooperate, they both benefit. If you're the only nation not cooperating with everyone else, then everyone else will surpass you until you're North Korea levels of yesteryear.
Looking at this through the lens of "how can the oligarchs benefit", it makes complete sense - Strip all government assistance, remove social nets, add tariffs that will basically kill most small businesses (think also farms, mom and pop shops, etc). Lead to depression, billionaires swoop in and buy up land/homes/business for pennies on the dollar (or just basically crush small businesses to get them out of the way). One couldn't design a better way to fuck over everyone and enrich the oligarchs
Yup, a fire sale for oligarchs.
