Well, that and it increasing the cost of steel, which will increase the cost of their products and reduce their sales - regardless of who they buy the steel from.

That said, if tariffs are used tactically, and the diplomacy is good, brief tariffs can help in the long run. In the short term - or however long the tariffs last - it’s like giving a tax break to one guy and raising the cost to everyone else.

What Free Traitors want you to believe is that the supply function is static and no new domestic suppliers will EVER come on line. Despite their best efforts to the contrary brand new factories are still being built in the USA all the time. Not as many as are closed mind you but the situation is dynamic and not static. With more domestic supply will mean pressure to reduce prices.

The mental midgets we lovingly call Free Traitors are some of the stupidest people on earth.
