So, I now have transformed in your mind from a Nazi to a Marxist. That’s quite a trick.

There have been many policies that create both winners and losers, but that doesn’t mean they should not have been implemented. Deregulation of industries like trucking, energy, and the airlines disrupted many workers’ careers, but the gains to consumers outweighed the losses of those workers. The challenge for policy is to find creative and humane ways to use these gains to make the “victims” whole.

There are no losers with high tariffs. Only winners. Maybe Americans will consume less durable goods for a while, put up with some inflation, but eventually domestic manufacturing will take up the slack and after 10 years nobody will notice that everything is now made in the USA. The temporary inflation is a small price to pay to put America BACK TO WORK. The upside is huge.

I guess you are not familiar with Marx's opinions and discussions about free trade. They are quite extensive. Google that sometime.
