I guess I mostly don't understand how anyone believed it.
He ran on lowering grocery prices, and he was going to do this by making tariffs. So his plan boiled down to "I'm going to lower prices by raising prices".
With Trump it can be tough to tell if it's idiocy of malice but at some point I suppose it's a distinction without much of a difference.
