Raise the import tariffs. Start building stuff in America again, and the Chinese will sell their weapons for food.

Increasing tariffs won’t help bring industry back. See my immediately prior posts above - there are things we cannot make at any price in the US any more. One example is car and other lead acid batteries. Thanks to the EPA, as of this year we don’t have any more domestic lead processing capability. The lead mines all were EPA’d long ago in the US, and now the last US lead processor is gone. How do you propose tariffs could help this? The only thing this would do is mean nobody in the US got batteries at all or that they would cost a fortune, not that they would be made in the US again.
