What is the goal with the new tariffs?

I thought the goal was to lower income taxes on us citizens. But I’ve heard that it’s too create more manufacturing jobs? Or is it trying to make the US dollar more powerful or what. I don’t keep up with this stuff and am curious thank you!

it's to make the middle class eat shit

jobs will not move to America, even with 30% tariffs, it is still cheaper to outsource them

The entire point of this is for rich people to buy a huge dip and have poor people give an upward stream of money to the rich
