Even if misguided, the Trump administration’s tariffs are intended to encourage manufacturing in the US instead of sending those manufacturing jobs overseas.
No, the tariffs are not “misguided” — they’re intended to extract bribes from countries and companies. Stop pretending that there’s a rationale other than that.

Hear hear. There’s only one thing worse than giving these people the benefit of the doubt, and that’s supporting them.
I think we need to be making more use of the word “ostensibly”.
That reads much better to me.
Remember that most US citizens read at or under a sixth grade level.
That low? I thought I remembered newspapers were written at 8th or 10th grade levels.
Over half of American adults (54%) read below a sixth-grade level.

Fair, but in journalism you can just write “Trump says the tariffs are to encourage manufacturing in the US…”
Unless the journalist is a mind-reader, they don’t know what Trump thinks.
That’s true, I don’t mean to discount that.
