"Trump put them on every nation on earth, and said it was because nations had to 'pay to play'"

They play, we pay.

You fail to understand that both Reagan and Trump used them identically: they are instruments of negotiation. Everything is a negotiation with the objective of coming to terms that best benefit your own country.

Like when you buy a car, you do what is necessary get the best deal possible.

Trump doesn’t care what people say. He is focused on the bargain.
