The problem with tariffs is the next President, a Democrat, is going to come in and reverse all the tariffs. 3.5 years is not enough time to get all these manufacturers to return to the USA and start making stuff. 8 years, perhaps. Americans love flying on the political pendulum. If Trump doesn't start making things happen, and soon, in the mid-terms the Congress will go back to the Democrats and in 4 years the presidency and then, yet again, all of Trump's efforts will vanish.
Americans are too stupid and impatient to let things play out.
I don't think that will happen. More likely Trump's financial success (based upon far more than merely tariffs- see Taibbi & Kern on last night's Racket News weekly show) will make him enormously popular going into the midterms, resulting in even fewer Dems & RINOs. That will lead to new legislation by Congress cementing EOs. And then whomever he endorses will win easily in a newly unrigged voting system.
You seem to think Trump is all alone in his fight, singlehandedly implementing things without much forethought about the long term. But there is every indication that Trump has been recruiting his people & putting pieces into place for at least two decades. This is a man planting trees that will provide shade for those who come after. I recommend Badlands Media (some shows exclusively on Rumble) for the 10,000 foot view of how it all fits together.
Magdalene, you have an optimism that I just don't have. Wish I did. As the executive the President can only do so much within the confines of the Article 2 of the US Constitution. Article 1 gives much, if not most of the authority to the Congress and we all know how inept and broken the US Congress truly is. Without a willing Congress most of what Mr. Trump can do is very limited.
Don't get me wrong. The man is brilliant and I am a personal admirer of him but he is also very unpredictable.
Believe me, it is weird being the sunny optimist after a lifetime of being Cassandra screaming into the void about the massive child trafficking (a system that I myself survived; being dismissed as "conspiracy theorist" was a deeply personal insult for me), the Long March through the Institutions, etc, & how the Constitution is just a piece of paper if the people don't enforce it, on & on & on! I can hardly believe it myself. But I can only continue to trust God, just as my Cassandra self once trusted that my dire warnings would one day be taken seriously. And here we are! I do find it funny- now that everyone else is getting so black-pilled, I've moved on to the white pill somehow. Hopefully I'm still just ahead of the curve!😁

You are an "American", Cankerpuss.
Are you "too stupid and impatient to let things play out?"
Self-excluded eh?

Given his upbringing, Trump has a very good understanding of chaos.
When it comes to negotiations he really understands what being unpredictable means.
