Abstract

The article explores how President Donald Trump's fixation on tariffs can be traced back to his admiration for President William McKinley, known as the "Tariff King." Trump's aggressive tariff policies have had significant economic repercussions, causing market turmoil and skepticism among investors. Despite criticism and warnings from economic experts, Trump's belief in protectionism as a means of American renewal remains steadfast, drawing parallels to historical attempts at imposing sweeping plans with mixed results. The article suggests that Trump's approach to tariffs reflects his view of the US as a premium market, akin to the exclusivity of Mar-a-Lago, and raises questions about the potential long-term impact of his trade policies.
