That's not true. You'll get terrified to hell and back by Canada and other reasonable countries

The problem are the shit-talkers. There are so many advisers talking shit to Trump and he's just repeating it. There's more shit coming out of his mouth than there is in his diaper - and there's alot of shit in his diaper. Trump may be dumb, but he's still the best politician in america. He reads a room and gets his message across better than anyone. Too bad he's a rapist, misogynistic, convicted criminal. And so easily influenced by Putin and the Evangelicals. If you want to know what Trump is doing an why, look at the goals and methods of these two.

Imagine if this was the "leader" of a third world country.

Americentrism.

They can move to the U.S. and then pay tariffs to import the parts, and have a smaller international demand for the product do to retaliatory tariffs and just straight avoidance of U.S. products while making their product in a higher cost to operate area. OR they can build a mine, pay higher lifting costs, higher wages, produce a much more expensive product of shitty quality to keep the price hopefully low enough that they can still have a demand for the product abroad, but everyone will coorelate their American products as shit because they cut corners to try to keep the costs low enough while having higher expenses. So no one wants their product. Or they could not cut corners and make a great product that costs so much that their market shrinks down to inoperable levels and go out of business.

You’re not getting it. He said it in ALL CAPS, so the globally-connected economy doesn’t actually exist. Tariffs punish BAD GUYS and have no effect on GOOD GUYS. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

his audience wouldn't notice the issue with this claim

Mainly because they are SO SO SO fucking dumb.

Lol... that's insanely hilarious.... or is it hilariously insane? I can't keep track with this nut job

Well naturally, if all the companies move to the US, there won't be tariffs because there won't be trade. With the way the US is going these days, I'm wondering if the US might come to the companies instead

If the rest of the western powers divest amd braindrain from the US, can they afford to upkeep their nuclear arsenal?

If the tariffs work, then how are tariffs going to fund the government? Seems like a lie
