Clinton ordered tariffs? Name one. Clinton was famous for NAFTA, which
_eliminated_ tariffs you fucking idiot.

Clinton threatened Japan with tariffs.  I don't believe that those
tariffs were ever imposed.

"Clinton-Kantor tariff."
<https://scholar.lib.vt.edu/VA-news/ROA-Times/issues/1995/rt9505/950525/05250049.htm>
"...they slapped 100 percent duties on 13 models of Japanese luxury
cars. This Clinton-Kantor Tariff would effectively double the price of
cars like the Lexus, Acura and Infiniti and knock them out of the
United States - to the delight of U.S. automakers, who were beaten by
the Japanese to the upscale baby-boomer market.  The tariff is meant
to punish the Japanese for not buying enough American autos and
parts."

Dispute Over Auto Market"

"Kantor, at a White House briefing, told reporters that the United
States could no longer tolerate a situation where Japan had 24 percent
of America’s "wide open" auto market while the United States had "a
meager 1.5 percent share in Japan.""

Trump only put in one for one.

I guess Tom didn't see the video clip of Trump holding up a large
chart of countries and tariff percentages during a press conference:
