Everybody is roasting you but I want to help you in a meaningful way. Decreasing trade and taxing US Citizens with tariffs does not create manufacturing jobs. In fact the USA is losing manufacturing jobs, exactly like last Trump term, because we’re tariffing resources like steel and aluminium used to build heavy machinery, which is one of the USA’s major exports following petrochem products and financial services.
See, successful countries specialize in specific goods and services then trade that to other nations. We could be making our own lamps, plastic tables, and mass producing PCBs but doing so makes us less money than the things we’re actually good at making. We’re actually forcing other nations to compete with us by not offering goods and services meaning they now have to create replacements for us.
