It took me a while to understand the logic, or so I think I understand it. The idea of the tariffs is to do unto them as they do unto us. Meaning they are reciprocal. It appears we are already getting major manufacturers into the country.

Our system of foreign trade has been unfair for several decades. I never understood shipping all of our manufacturing to China, which in turn created unemployment in big cities, which in turn created a situation where the kids become gangsters that sell drugs to the elites. The same elites that got rid of manufacturing and are now gutting the US Treasury.

I can’t stand seeing “Made In China”.

The markets will straighten out, they always do.

All will not only be well, but better.

I don’t know if this is one of the points you were making. But one reason manufacturers moved overseas is that other countries set up tariffs on American made products. We’re supposed to learn from history, not keep letting ourselves be backhanded by our “allies”.
