In 1984, Winston writes in Blind Intersection? Policy and the Automobile Industry, 32,000 jobs were lost, U.S. production fell by 300,000 units, and profits for U.S. firms increased $8.9 billion.US job losses, lower production, higher prices for cars, but at least the firms saw a benefit.

Those changes in market share were temporary. All markets balance out.
Ok to prove how wrong you are about tariffs if we had a complete trade embargo on imports would we no longer have flat screen TV's? Or would an electronics factory or 100 of them pop up in the USA?
