No. Just trying to speak in your language so I can get your answer. Confusing you with reality may slow you down.

So, how will raising tariffs and barriers to trade fix those problems? LOL!

This will compel the United States to manufacture items it was formerly purchasing overseas. This will have 2 beneficial effects:

1. It will help reestablish our dying manufacturing base, thus recreating well-paying jobs for people lacking higher education.

2. If we produce these items ourselves, we will be less prone to price fluctuations for them on the world market.
