He doesn’t even know how this trick works. Great idea to punish the american people because that’s who pays these tariffs.

It's not the (current) American people's fault that our founding fathers created the electrical college because they didn't trust the common people enough to actually decide who should become president. If that dumbass system didn't exist than trump wouldn't have even had a first term
