If foreign goods cost 20% more, then that makes them less competitive with domestic goods. If they cost 20% more US goods, that makes them not at all competitive, and those traitors who wish to return to our shores can or be replaced by domestic producers, who employ our people.

If I produce something in China that sells for $100 in the U.S. today, and a 20% tariff is imposed on it, then it will cost $120 tomorrow.

Do you really think a U.S. manufacturer would sell it for less than $119.99?
