Look how well the "only make it here" stance has worked in China.
China achieved most of its export growth/domestic market protection through currency manipulation as a result they are really vulnerable and have some huge problems, namely very high inflation that they are struggling to control, they have been raising interest rates, and hiking reserve requirement none of which is working very well. In short they are in trouble.
Would that tariff not make building products in the US more likely??
Thus, keeping jobs here.
this is very shortsighted. forcing someone to pay more for something to give someone else work, will create resentment amongst consumers. this is just a disguised welfare program which will spur on the very entitlement culture which has made us uncompetitive to begin with.
we have lived in a country which consumes much of the worlds wealth and we offer paper as payment. that will end at some point and no amount of protectionism will help us out then. rather we should stop behaving like petulant kids and become competitive again, duties are not the way to the promised land
Well, I'm confused why you support Trump. This is capitalism. You can't support free trade and then complain just because someone else can create the same product cheaper, not accounting for all the extra costs to society such as environmental devastation, dangerous working conditions, and low pay due to minimal regulations in those countries.
This is th4e man that feigns bankruptcy so he can avoid paying his wife hundreds of millions? yeah, there is a good up standing citizen that has the interests of others at heart.
Like the Repugs of recent he too will garner all he can fro himself and leave us with the mess to clean up. We are fools so apparently deserve him but that doesn't make him good.
Maybe to some extent. Mostly it will make things more expensive and result in far less demand, and thus far fewer things being produced, generally speaking.

we have to add that in the currency manipulation war, we are by far the superpower. nobody manipulates their currency more than we do.
