Maybe I'm retarded but I don't see where the problem is here.
Oh, my neighbor is working myself to death in order to make cheap and affordable stuff for me, I must impose sanctions on myself because... huh?
If another country pays bottom tier wages, then sit back and enjoy cheap products. Or do you believe you have some sort of ethical and moral theory according to which
a) paying absolute bottom tier wages is unacceptable
b) using force to rectify a) is acceptable
?
Yes, I literally believe Option b), and so do most Americans who voted for Trump.
I have asked this in another post, but is the USA in a situation in which there is a big number of American workers who are unable to find jobs?
There are other issues with the economy, but the lack of decent-paying blue-collar jobs is a huge problem. Many Americans are working 2 jobs in a service economy, instead of relying on one member of the household in a manufacturing economy.
If the goal is encouraging those industries to be available domestically, then wouldn't it be much more prudent, efficient, and effective to, say, remove barriers preventing people from starting or continuing these industries domestically? Such as taxes, fees, levies, licenses, patents, all sorts of red tape? Like, get rid of those? Rather than some tariff for some other industries?
Why not both?
Why not remove taxes and instead replace the tax income with tariff income?
Like its not a one-or-the-other situation. Multiple options can be used at one time.
 
Can't wait for the screeching of pardoning J6ers on the same day Biden pardoned his ENTIRE family back to 2014, on top of the Hunter pardon, the J6 committee pardons, Fauci pardon, etc. J6ers were denied due process, let the lawsuits, interviews, and book deals FLY.
Not to mention the J6 political prisoners were imprisoned for trying to lawfully protest/prevent the most corrupt political family in history from being installed into office. Hind sight has proven them all correct with Biden pardoning his whole clan.

Yes. There are entire industries, some of which are critical to national security, that have been hollowed out by foreign nations (particularly China, but also others) using subsidies and slave labor to undercut American companies. This isn't coming out of nowhere because people just love the idea of tariffs. It is a response to the situation as it is.
 
Wait a minute. What happened to all those annoying Zoomer chicks screaming at the press "Bye! Bye! Thank you! Let's go! Bye! Fuck off! No questions! Bye! Eat a bag of dicks! Let's go! Out!" preventing Trump from talking to reporters?

I heard that for four years. I'm confused.
My favorite Biden moment occurred on Easter when they dressed the THANK YOU chick up in a bunny costume and she had to physically interpose herself between Biden and the reporters to keep him away from them.
