Bailout sounds like socialism

So let me get this straight. Farm inputs are more expensive in good part due to tariffs. An example would be fertilizer from Canada and steel from overseas just the name two. China manipulates the tariffs to make purchases when the soybean prices are low. Then the president uses his tariff money like a personal bank account to compensate for lower farm income. What industries are next? Who’s going to be left out?
Seems like central government control of industry. Sort of sounds like a socialism, doesn’t it.
