At some point, logic dictates we need to stop freezing out OCONUS manufacturing with tariffs, to allow US based manufacturing time to rebuild and restart production here.

Otherwise, a simple 32" TV/CPU Monitor selling for $99 at Wally World now, will be $399. And that will not help Voter Wallets.

How about a simple Equal Tariff agreement?
They charge us 25%, then we do the same.

#6 ^ Yes, in just a few months all US economic activity has ceased. We just wander around hoping that Zohran Mamdani will save us.
