    What life looked like under Trump's tariff hero, US President William McKinley

    Trump has cited William McKinley's 1890 Tariff Act as inspiration for his aggressive tariff policies. McKinley's tariffs, averaging 50% on imports, faced political backlash and contributed to Republican losses in 1890 midterms. Trump's recent tariffs, despite a Supreme Court ruling against many, include new 10-12.5% levies on countries linked to forced labor.
