What? He rambled about it all the time. It wasn't coherent but he did always say this is what he was going to do.

Oh ok I didn't follow it that closely of course but that part didn't make it into the news here. He did complain about the trade imbalance but not specifically tariffs.

Ps: there isn't really a trade imbalance if you take services into accounts but Trump calculated them only on goods as if that makes sense

I don't think that would have resonated with his followers at all though.

Did it require more than 6 syllables? Then no: no resonance among the base.
