Speaking of “tool,” how will your vaunted 10% tariff affect the jobs at those domestic U.S. manufacturers that rely upon imported materials?

Their material cost will go up 10% like all of their competitors. Maybe a domestic source will come online if the material is available locally. That is the dynamic operating here.

The purpose of a tariff is to artificially hike the price of the import making the domestic source more profitable resulting in more Americans working and reducing the welfare money spent. Win-win. It's the whole point which is to reverse the bias from middlemen profits obtained importing goods into the USA to real wages and benefits for Americans making goods.

The petulant Free Traitors™ have to realize that there are two sides to this issue. Trump is going to teach them the hard way.

I have to admit that was a good question. Which is a surprise coming from you.

Well, why don’t we ask all those other nations you support that do it? It doesn’t seem to hurt them any.
