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.

I think that Americans have seen what happens to their country at the cost of cheap goods and would be VERY WILLING to pay more for American made!! You must also realize that Americans will be making more money right now our country has become a service industry men don’t work getting their hands dirty anymore, more and more men can’t fix anything themselves anymore men in our country are becoming pansies!!!

Prices won't double, that is total speculation. How many man-hours do you think goes into a car? a TV?

It takes 30 man-hours to build a car. It takes less than 1 man-hour to build a TV.

A car Made in the USA will cost probably 8% more, a TV maybe 5% more.
