His tariffs won't fix shit.

Tariffs can do one of two things:

  1. Protect domestic industry
  2. Exert pressure in a trade war.

To accomplish 1, tariffs have to be permanent and planned. To accomplish 2, tariffs have to be reversible the moment the other party caves.

These tariffs are neither planned nor permanent. Yet Trump wants you to believe that they can bring back manufacturing.
