This shouldn't be a surprise. The U.S. imposed billions of dollars in tariffs on foreign products and materials. It's not like we have the capacity to produce all of those things right here, and right now. So the price of imports goes up and the volume of imports doesn't change dramatically. That's a recipe for a growing trade deficit right there.

It's not like we have the capacity to produce all of those things right here, and right now.

So the solution is to stay the course and repatriate manufacturing BACK to the USA. win - win. THINK LONG TERM and strategically and not short term like these fatally myopic Free Traitors™ do.

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 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.
