Well tariffs duh! Those economists are just stupid. They don’t have the big Trump brain. /s

More seriously, I genuinely think Vance and other more ideological types in the new right want to devalue the USD, make us more of an exporter and bring manufacturing back. The first is chaotic, the second is more noble but there’s casualties along the way. I bet you’d see lots of happy middle America folks at first, with those jobs returning, but you’d have to pay below minimum wage to compete with SE Asia soooooooo yeah.
