from Peter Coy, The New York Times:
“If you liked what Trump did economically the first time, you’re going to like what he did the second time,” Stephen Moore, the Trump campaign’s unpaid senior economic adviser, told me. “He wanted to hit the ground running. He felt the clock was ticking.
“The difference between Trump and Reagan is that Trump is not particularly ideological, and I've worked for both,” Moore said. “Reagan was ideological. Trump is a businessman. When you talk to him about a problem, he deals with it with common sense.
Moore said Trump has not always acted on his threats to raise tariffs and that he has used tariffs as leverage “to get other countries to do things that are in the national interest of the United States.” According to Moore's theory, tariffs under Trump may not be much higher than under Biden. Then again, Trump once tweeted: “I’m a Tariff guy.”

Regarding tariffs — one of the few economic policies that Mr. Trump has actually implemented — CAP tabulates the tax on imported goods, which is a 10% tariff on all imported goods.
