We don't make anything in murica anymore due to corporate greed in case you haven't noticed.

Wrong. We export more goods than anyone but China.

We export a lot of petroleum and materials. We build virtually no consumer goods here. 99% of the shit we buy is imported. The are no murican made options. Tarrifs failed in 1930 when we actually produced consumer goods. They'll fail even worse this time.

Consumer goods are 90 percent useless junk people can live without and most of them don't come from Mexico or Canada anyways so your prediction has no basis in anything right now. You're playing darts blindfolded.

25% of US automobiles are built in Mexico, and almost 50% of all auto parts are importrd from there. Guess yall are still driving your horse and buggy so you won't be effected.

That's exactly the point. Bringing Detroit back to Detroit. will be possible with tariffs.

We also produce plenty of dumbasses who are too afraid of short term discomfort in exchange for long term stability.

And dumbasses who don’t know shit about basic economics yet feel the need to espouse on the topic. I blame the NEA and the dept. of education.

Are you really that dim? You think companies are going to spend billions to bring manufacturing back here when labor in Mexico is still 1/10 the cost? The companies don't pay the tariffs. They just past the cost on to the consumer. Can't beleive trumpers can't understand simple economics, but yall aren't the college edumacated crowd. Lol! Tariffs are a tax on the end consumer. They caused the great depression to get much worse in the 30's WTF makes you think they'll work now?

Tariffs are what was used to generate revenue before they started taxing citizens on property and income in the 20th century. Free trade has been a failure because it basically encourages giant corps to move where the labor is cheaper, and thereby take advantage of the peoples there. You should try to focus on your argument and leave your speculative and wrong assumptions about me out of it.
