I'm not from the US and I was talking to my buddy about it at the sauna, I naively thought Trump would force the importing country to pay the tariff.
When my buddy said, Trump is basically forcing the American to not buy foreign goods by imposing the tariff on the consumer I was quite surprised.
Where is Trump going to build all the televisions? Where are the components coming from?
The US labour costs will be massive but has the average American got used to taking advantage of kids in sweat shops doing the job for a fraction of the cost.

you kinda answered your own question...there is no way trump can maintain tariffs long enough for manufacturing to actually shift permanently back to US. he has maybe 6 to 12 months to make a show of it. if he actually imposed any serious tariffs ( doubtful), in 12 months hed have rescinded any such tariffs to make sure republicans dont get smacked in 2026 mid term elections.
