That's the same bullshit justification Trump used. If the dems genuinely opposed with Trump's trade war, they would have undone all his tariffs.
There might be a valid argument somewhere in there that constantly changing the trade policy is worse than keeping a bad one in place? Not sure the trade-off there though. If you know you have a certain tariff in place long term, you can work around that and the tariff can actually do the things it is intended to do. If the tariff changes on a whim, you can't and the country just becomes a more risky proposition to do business with.
