Where are you getting your numbers? After a chaotic week of tariffs companies didn’t go get their financing in order, buy land for new facilities, extend infrastructure to the site (water/sewer/power), design the new facility, go through the necessary building/state permitting, build their new facility, hire and then train workers, and then get new US made goods online. The level of time it would take to bring back many of things would be measured in years, not days.

This is not a war, but a special trade operation.

The people that think it went well and was all part of some masterplan are low IQ individuals. There is no point arguing with them.

Of course, most reasonable people would not object to tariffs in the right circumstances. But first there must be a recognition of the enormous difference between the low cost, low skill manufacturing that it makes no sense for the US to tariff, versus the high end stuff where the Chinese are stealing IP and unfairly subsidising their industries.

Tariffs should be very specific and targeted when used, instead of some dumbass blanket tariff which results in reduced output and higher costs.

As if Trump would purposely crash the economy, just to buy low and later sell high.

He would never do that. Donald is for the 71 million American working class people who have a 401(k).
