I can't imagine Trump didn't anticipate the results of the tariffs. Then again he's been yelling about America being treated bad even when he was much younger.
But still: many advisors must have told him what could happen. Since flattery so easily manipulates him, surely some must have gotten through to him. So, maybe even the protests within his own party are part of a thickening plot.
I think he knew, that this disarray is what he needs, and that his plans will become apparent soon.
