We need to be raising import tariffs and restoring American industry.

Tariffs are like a tourniquet to stop the bleeding of wealth.

"Tariffs are like a tourniquet to stop the bleeding of wealth."

I disagree. I think the lowering of the tariffs is one of the primary causes of the hemorrhaging. The wage differentials between countries are another primary cause. And that's what import tariffs can help offset.
