But we really need to stop trading with these countries.
And hopefully they'll go into recession.
US economy is sufficient on it's own
Silly statement.
You're going to stop trading with the rest of the world.
And you think the rest of the world will go into recession while the American economy won't.
The US economy is not sufficient on its own. Any and all economies require growth. But you're talking about abruptly stunting the growth of the world's economy. And the US economy.

We can only grow so much, with you limiting American businesses to selling to Americans. Plus, you are living in la-la land. We cannot do OK on our own.
As for globalization, we've always been part of a global market. To try to artificially suppress markets via legislation, is a failing strategy. Isolationism is a failing strategy. It's an impossible dream, but worse, it's actually a nightmare, because what you're dreaming about is pure fantasy.
The reality is that Americans have always sold goods abroad, (cotton, tobacco, anybody?) and have always purchased goods from abroad. Always. Trade deficits tend to by cyclical, and the economies around the world are intertwined, economically, politically, and socially. Your desire to unravel the world's economies makes no sense at all.

I'm not isolating any companies from any markets.
We're just gonna charge some tax on countries jacking their currencies
Leftists are terrified they might have to get jobs when globalization is regulated.
Talk about not making any sense and having leftists/democrats on the brain.
The number of people on this forum who have myopic viewpoints because of years of having their heads immersed in the right wing media echo chamber is pretty sad.
If they're so tiny, they can't be contributing much to the trade deficit, so why charge a tax on them at all?
You're dancing around what you really think is the problem, and the reason is because CHINA doesn't fit your narrative or your argument.
China fits right in
We're gonna charge them a 55% tax cause they're gonna devalue their currency very soon.
They're killing us.
And Mexico is the new China.
We have to protect our market and businesses
