Anyone who's lived through the NAFTA era and has an ounce of common sense knows this is nonsense.
For example...the auto worker in Mexico doesn't pay any US taxes on his income, he doesn't patronize American businesses or otherwise spend his income in the United States.
The US auto worker who was laid off doesn't get a better job, the community he lives in suffers economically, the level of crime, welfare, and drug abuse increases, as property values and quality of life goes down.
The reason the (now) 'multi-national' auto maker moved his plant to Mexico in the first place is because "free trade" deals like NAFTA made it more profitable for him to do so.
Now, tariffs will make it less profitable, which is why Chrysler is moving manufacturing back to the United States and other auto makers are opening manufacturing facilities here.
I honestly don't care whether some pointy headed globalist pukes have to pay more for their imported cars as a result, in fact it warms my nationalist heart.
...the $4 trillion, mostly unconstitutional federal government caused that and other industries to flee our country because of high taxes, unconstitutional suffocating regulations, unconstitutional forced business-killing minimum wage, unconstitutional competitive-killing subsidies (bribes), and unconstitutional union protection. Tariffs fix none of those things. But doing away with those things fixes the problem allowing our industries and economy to take off, grow, and prosper mightily.
this is nonsense ("Tariffs penalize and are a tax on the American consumer and lower our standard of living")
You say nothing to disprove that statement and later you say in support of that statement...

The American consumer is a "pointy headed globalist puke"? With friends like you, who needs enemies?
