You’re both right.
They want magic to happen. Jobs to magically appear in the US, prices to remain magically unchanged, wages to be American factory wages, and for all of this to happen now.
They completely disregard they’ve already drilled holes in the bottom of their fantasy boat with trump’s tariffs. All the materials and machinery needed to either build and establish American manufacturing, or grow American raw materials extraction, processing, refining, forging, and basic tech production would take a decade to spool up even with importing of outsourced resources; resources which trump has conveniently slapped tariffs all over making it cost prohibitive to even start building American self-sufficiency. But trump waved his magic wand, so the True Beleivers™️ are happy and trump can sling blame at China or liberals, or whoever else when his shittly lack of actual planning doesn’t fix everything.
