@HumanityAs @RealCandaceO I guess it went over your head. I am doing the same thing that Candace does. An accusation with no evidence, but just hang on the evidence is coming.

Of all the leakers that have been in the government. Why can't someone leak the list of payouts regarding congressional Improprieties. Swallows Well is not the only one.

People need to understand if the bombs went off in New York and killed people. The Mayor, his wife and Islamist across the world would shout Allah Akbar!

Tariffs have been a core part of U.S. economic and trade policy since the nation's founding, used by presidents for revenue generation, protecting domestic industries (protectionism), retaliating against unfair trade practices, or addressing national security/emergencies.
There is no single exact number of presidents who "leveraged" tariffs because almost every president has dealt with them in some way—tariffs were the primary federal revenue source until the income tax in 1913, and Congress (or delegated authority) set rates during most of U.S. history. However, many presidents actively supported, signed, raised, lowered, or imposed tariffs as a deliberate policy tool.
Key Historical Context
Early Republic (1789–1860): Tariffs were mainly for revenue but often included protective elements. Presidents like George Washington (signed Tariff Act of 1789), Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams (Tariff of Abominations 1828), Andrew Jackson (handled Nullification Crisis over high tariffs), Martin Van Buren, John Tyler (Black Tariff 1842), James K. Polk (lowered via Walker Tariff 1846), and James Buchanan (signed Morrill Tariff just before Lincoln) all engaged with tariff legislation.
Civil War to Great Depression (1861–1933): High protective tariffs dominated (averaging ~50%), especially under Republican presidents. Abraham Lincoln raised them during the war, and this continued through presidents like Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, Chester A. Arthur, Grover Cleveland (Democrat who lowered some), Benjamin Harrison (McKinley Tariff 1890), William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson (lowered via Underwood Tariff 1913), Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover (Smoot-Hawley 1930, which raised them dramatically).
Post-1930s (Modern Era): After Smoot-Hawley worsened the Depression, policy shifted toward lower tariffs and free trade via reciprocal agreements (Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act 1934 under Franklin D. Roosevelt). Presidents delegated more authority but still used targeted tariffs:
Richard Nixon (steel/import surcharge 1971).
Gerald Ford (oil tariffs).
Jimmy Carter (some protections).
Ronald Reagan (motorcycles, Japanese electronics, steel).
George H.W. Bush (limited).
Bill Clinton (steel from multiple countries).
George W. Bush (steel tariffs 2002).
Barack Obama (Chinese tires, solar panels).
Donald Trump (broad on China, steel/aluminum; and in second term, even wider reciprocal tariffs on many countries).
Joe Biden (maintained/expanded some on China, e.g., EVs, steel).
Rough Count
Nearly all of the 47 individuals who have served as president (46 presidencies, with Grover Cleveland counted once) have "leveraged" tariffs in the broad sense—signing bills, negotiating, or using executive authority—since tariffs were routine until mid-20th century.
For protectionist or significant use (raising/imposing to protect industries or leverage trade): At least 20–30 presidents, especially Republicans from Lincoln through Hoover, and scattered modern ones (Nixon, Reagan, Bush 43, Obama, Trump, Biden).
High protective eras were shorter-lived, and broad/high tariffs often led to political backlash or economic issues (e.g., Nullification Crisis, Smoot-Hawley).
In short, most U.S. presidents have leveraged tariffs to some degree—it's baked into American economic history. If you're asking about those who aggressively used them for protectionism or trade wars (like recent examples), it's a smaller but still substantial group, with Donald Trump standing out in modern times for scale and breadth. Let me know if you'd like details on a specific president or era!
