It's distraction. He can't talk policy, no one likes his.

It's funny they called his debate prep "Policy Time" when his policy is just racist screed and logical fallacy.

Nor does he understand what a tariff actually is. Which is like high school level stuff.

A tariff is a tax or duty imposed by a government on imported or exported goods, typically paid by the importer and invariably passed onto the consumer, effectively becoming a de facto sales tax.

On it's own, that's bad. But what's worse is that this is all based off of a white supremacist conspiracy theory. And he is adding fuel to the fire.
