If you want socialism then keep closing factories and decimating red state America.
Believe me I get it. Corporations want to sell products in the first world market at first world prices, duty free no less, that are produced in the 3rd world but at the same time don't want to pay for first world labor rates. They are greedy Free Traitors™. Ok fine. They need to be helped into doing the right thing by slapping a huge import tariff on imports.

As I’m sure you’ll agree, a carrot and stick approach is needed here. The stick: tariffs. The carrot: less regulations, less government interference in the workplace, lower taxes.
Trump needs to get this done, and sooner rather than later. I want a wall, and I want heavy industry back. If Trump fails to deliver on either, he risks losing my vote in 2020.
No, they protect some American jobs, at the expense of every other American. It is only the politically connected who benefit from tariffs. As for raising revenue, no, I don't support that. I'm for smaller government.

How does it benefit ordinary Americans to price things beyond their ability to buy? Our standard of living has gone straight up since the deregulation and low tariff policies of the Regan years. Even the Democrats recognized this and haven't tampered with it much.
Patriotism is so yesteryear. American companies should grab all they can. Nothing is owed to this country or its workers. But don’t forget to stand for the National Anthem today.
