“Raise the import tariffs. Put Americans back to work. Restore American industry.”
That horse already left the gate, long ago.
Until we are willing to address WHY the jobs left America in the first place, you just wasting air....
That horse left about 40 years ago when we lowered the tarriffs that server our country well it's first 190 years. It's not too late to bring that horse back, but public education has to be done. A lot of people are already figuring it out.

The only reason they left is that there was cheaper labor elsewhere. Raise the import tariffs and they will come back.
You can eliminate all regulations and taxes and we still couldn't compete against Chinese labor that is willing to work 12 hour days for $2/day.
The question is why should be compete against cheap Chinese labor when we don't have to. If there were enough jobs in our own economy it would make sense to offshore some of the less valuable jobs to China. But we have high unemployment.
What's more, China doesn't allow the funds we send over there to buy U.S. trade goods. They gather the funds through taxes and through state owned firms. And then instead of buying U.S. trade goods, they buy U.S. manufacturing firms and U.S. debt. Raise the import tariffs and that will come to an end.
