These are the results he wants. He didn't come up with this stuff, Republicans have been working on this for four decades. Forcing other nations to put massive retaliatory tariffs on us forces us to bring back industries like our dead steel industry now that it's too expensive to import it.

reply

jhaven1974.bsky.social•3 hours ago

They'll say they brought back jobs even though still will cost more. We also need steel for national security so for defense they want those forges open so they can be turned to defense instantly. So forcing us to bring back steel industries makes a bunch of people happy. This all sucks for us.
