No one could have guessed this was coming.

It's almost like he wants to ruin the United States.

we don' need lesser nations' cheap export trash

'Murican consumers decades ago decided that a toaster made in China was better option than one made in the US. Saving $5 was more important that keeping jobs in America. Corporate America played the consumers greed over $5 into BILLIONS in profits for themselves by shifting good middle class jobs to China and Mexico where wages were 1/50th what they are in the US and no worker safety or environmental regulations cutting into their profits.

You really think 25% tariffs that will be passed onto consumers anyways is going to move manufacturing back to the US? Wages and benefits alone are more than 25% higher here in the US than China where the average work day is more than 12 hours and the chances of being killed on the job are 300% higher than in the US. The cost of living and rent alone in the US is double what it is in Taiwan.

Forcing companies to move back into the US is folly. He knows it. He just wants to ruin the economy so he can blame Biden for it for having the audacity to beat him badly in 2020.
