> Trump aims to bring everyone to table to renegotiate global commerce.
Throwing the gauntlet in the dirt isn't how you achieve this type of diplomacy, as the world will just form new economical alliances with more predictable trade partners instead of wasting time trying to appease Donald Trump.
> A risky tactic, but refreshing after decades of the old tired policies that brought us the collapse of parts of US manufacturing and so much pain during COVID due to a complete dependence on foreign suppliers for... Well, everything.
By "policies" do you mean US corporations trying to make as much profit as possible by moving manufacturing to cheaper countries?
The result of tariffs, even if manufacturing for some products moves back to the US, will be higher prices for consumers even in the long run as you cannot produce things as cheaply as other countries. In a country where wages have not kept up with inflation the economic pain will keep mounting.
> I don't know if this will work. But I know what we had before wasn't working. We'll see.
Coupled with:
> People here know so much more than the actual professionals in the government.
Is funny to read; If you had those actual professionals in the government, they would be able to show you some serious predictions about how these moves will improve the economy and when you can expect the "golden age" to show up.
