It's gonna be a long ride:

Rebecka Dobbyn, who voted for Mr. Trump in the last election and has worked at the Dearborn plant for eight years, admitted she was unaware that tariffs on Canada and Mexico had taken effect hours earlier, but said “it’s all part of his strategy to bring jobs back to America and help Americans.”

Although, she added, “it would be nice to be able to afford to buy eggs.”
