Tariffs themselves aren't necessarily good or bad and there are legitimate reasons why a country may need to use them in certain circumstances. Even Bernie Sanders used to swear up and down about implementing tariffs.
It's clear Trump doesn't know how tariffs actually work though and may only vaguely understand the principle. For him, it's just about getting attention and enticing other leaders to suck up to him, which seemed to work on Sheinbaum and Starmer for example.
