trump cultists couldn't care less about the corruption, the swamp, the nepotism, the way he (and his extended family) shamelessly exploit the presidency to push his their brand and business, the massive conflicts of interest, and the policies he introduces exclusively for his donors.

if they did, his approval rating would be at 0% - but they ignore it, or even worse, keep making their lazy excuses and rationalisations. "swamp" is only a problem for them when their emperor tells them it is, and only when someone else is accused. if obama had done a fraction of the shit trump pulls on a nearly daily basis, republican heads would literally have exploded...

Dow Jones industrial sector now down 3% this week, this is the market reaction to the mere announcement of these tariffs.

Well, in fairness, the reaction to a policy announcement is often not a good indicator of the reaction to it's implementation.

It's hardly the only indicator that the industrial sector is staunchly against these tariffs. Trump's chief economic adviser is also against the tariffs, and word has it he may be ready to quit the administration all together

All these people wanting to quit need to save it and all quit the same day. Trump can replace one dude. If you really want to send a message have half the administration walk on the same day. That'd put a fire under his arse.

I have never supported tarrifs

The issue here isn't one guy threatening to quit, but the fact that the president refuses to listen to what the economists are telling him. If the president isn't listening to what the economists are telling him, who the hell is he taking his economic advise from?
