Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Did he consider putting tariffs on winds blowing from China's direction? Should probably also deport everyone who speaks Chinese or ever saw a Chinese movie or read a book (doesn't have to be Chinese, any book at this point might be dangerous for those morons).
Don't present ideas unnecessarily...
The fuckwitted Mafia Don Mangolini and his Elonazi-led cronies will evidently take any and all opportunities whether real or imagined.

This madness should be taken as antithetical to every "free market" conservative out there. And yet: crickets.
The US got complacent with outsourcing any kind of manufacturing. It drove up profits for corporations while cutting out jobs for Americans. This all happened on the back of the dream of "trickle down economics". Of course, nothing trickled down. Everything trickled up. Thank the GOP for all of that, as a start.
Now that it has made the US completely reliant on outside manufacturing, in particular from China, there's an obvious need to bring back manufacturing: but there is no real way to do it without investment and subsidization of such efforts. It is a process that, even with the proper support, would take years if not decades.
The populist part is there ("bring back our jobs!"). But the realistic part is that, ultimately, you cannot fix this by simply locking out the external supply. The economy will fail long before manufacturing could possibly return in any real way, at scale. It could be mitigated with FDR-scale programs, but any of that would be viewed and demonized as "socialism" by the Trumpers.
That's where we're at.
