I do believe the coming Populist wave is going to include a resurgence of the Ross Perot “No More Free Trade!” position.

Count me out! There's never been a successful tariff.

FedGov™'s primary source of revenue up to 1913 was tariffs. But that wasn't a "successful" time in US history...

China is among the most closed markets.

They’ve taken a huge amount of American business. Bring it back.
