Someone on reddit (from where I stole this pic) said 'Trump thinks tariffs are like tributes' and I think that's a perfect analysis of Trump's mentality.

Isn't that correct though?

Whenever someone does something, they need to pay tribute to Trump. So, it's like tribute to him.

Just like how it works in Russia. Funny that.

Tributes are still a thing. See Australia "buying" $300bn submarines from the US.

So I can somewhat understand why Trump thought this is what tariffs are haha

(My grumble, you're not wrong)
