Are Trump's Tariffs Trying to Solve a Problem That Doesn't Exist?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : They went down through global trade agreements.
47% : Trump does not share your analysis of the benefits of trade in recent decades, and so he has pursued a very different policy from what you would advise.
46% : They went down through individual free trade agreements.
41% : I mean, part of the bipartisan consensus that we heard from Bill Clinton, for whom you worked, and both George Bushes was a world that trades more will be a freer, more democratic world.
39% : I think the ways in which it didn't increase democracy around the world and the devastation that it caused in some communities in the United States appear to have contributed to frustration and anger and political polarization.
39% : If we could do better than that with trade agreements with different countries around the world, that would be even better.
36% : Trump and Vice President JD Vance claim that their tariffs will turn those communities around.
27% : And I mean that in two different ways: How much do you think Trump will reverse himself and withdraw his tariffs?
