It's an interesting time. It's also a gut check. Let me start off by saying that if you have problems with tariffs, well, so do I. We all have problems with tariffs. But I'm not doctrinaire about it. Tariffs are a weapons system. Tariffs are a tool. I don't think they are the be-all and end-all, but I don't think you have to put them off-limits. Negotiations require leverage, and a lot of people who say we can never implement tariffs don't understand that it deprives us of that.
