You'd think some of the financial geniuses on team Trump would put a stop to this madness.

Clearly, you don't think like a MAGA. This isn't madness at all. First, it provides a cover story on which to hang a projected $600 billion (or whatever) per year in new revenues with which to make permanent the Trump 1.0 tax cut while "reducing" the deficit. Second, it creates a new point of leverage with which to extort tribute from domestic industries and international trading partners: "Oh, you want relief from the tariff? What will you offer Don Trumpo in return?" Win-Win!
