Every time Trump says tariffs will “save jobs,” he is not being an originalist. That’s not why the Founders wrote them into the Constitution. An originalist would know.

That's right - he's only making sense and he's also not claiming anything like what you just "rebutted"....

Does it make one feel better to claim that if a person was saying something he hasn't been saying, for a reason he hasn't used, would be wrong in saying what he hasn't said?

Good question, thanks. I have yet to see Trump claim that he wants to raise tariffs simply in order to raise revenue, but maybe he has. Please bear in mind that the op posited that he is a “constitutional originalist.”
