Serious or trolling?

You said:

If you manufactured it in the USA there are no tariffs. I don’t know why this is so hard to understand.

Then I explained to you why it works like this:

Manufactured in the USA = tariffs and expensive labor.

Manufactured outside the USA = tariffs and cheap labor.

It’s really that simple.

Tariffs on everything is an incentive on manufacturing outside the USA as the supply chain is missing and all the parts need to be imported too.

The story would be different if those were targeted tariffs on specific products. In that case it would work in the opposite way
