But I’m fine with the trade barriers, provided we take the steps needed to allow manufacturing to resume (on the necessary scale) here.

The tariff IS the step. Look at all the companies that are able to turn on a dime and switch manufacturing back the the USA. It is easier than we think.

Anything is possible - the question is whether Americans are ready to see prices DOUBLE if we don’t get labor and regulations under control - after all, there’s a reason our industrial base moved to China, Mexico, and elsewhere.

I doubt that Americans are ready for that...so it wouldn’t be too smart for Trump or any Republicans to support just the barriers.
