This is what happens when a guy who was, according to his professor "the dumbest goddamn student I ever had" is made president.
He keeps trying to shove the triangle into the square hole while exclaiming, "it's a perfect fit".
Tariffs alone will never bring back manufacturing to the US. Those jobs are gone thanks to globalism, and why would you need them back when you could instead invest in a more service-oriented economy and with more highly specialised (and valuable) tertiary industry jobs. All tariffs do in this situation is tax everyone and drive inflation rapidly - both at a time when people are at historically high levels of personal debt.
