Without international trade products and crops won’t be made or grown because they are unprofitable.

But on the flip side that tariff will simulate NEW domestic production of things we once imported and the list is very long indeed. Even a complete dolt like you can see that. A tariff is the beginning of a dynamic economic story and industrial revival. Only a completely disingenuous globalist a$$hole would try to foist a static economic modal on a dynamic situation to scare the sheeple.

I'll trade a bean field for a nice new factory any day of the week. And twice on Sunday.

It does not stop with the loss of a bean field. Since it would reduce the need for labor and equipment a tariff will mean that those purchases will be reduced.

Thus, employment will go up in that sector as the export industries downsize or go out of business. Hence, the workers at John Deere and Caterpillar will partially pay for the tariff.
