Well at any rate it appears that was indicated within my previous lengthy  message was filtered down to a short reply from you that is basically implies..  Just wait. 

What is about to happen within Trumps 2nd term has far more to do than just tariffs. Besides you are speaking of a dogmatic and fearful approach to tariffs.

All that was wrong within Biden Administration will be eliminated within the
Trump Administration.  

Oh and by the way: when the Trump Administration announces that the Southern Border is now secure, Americans as well as people from around the World can believe it w/ assured confidence. Trump means what he says. 

There will be Peace through Strength, not weakness as seen within the previous Biden administration; to draw a line in the sand and have it crossed, there was never any consequence taken by the U.S. This is how I define weakness. 

What does purchasing foreign made goods do for the United States and her citizens?  What is the benefit? Cheaply and poorly made products that don't last and then arrive in landfills... There is a better way forward. 

Domestic Job Creation: This protects American industries from being undercut by cheaper foreign labor, directly supporting American jobs. For example, industries like steel saw a resurgence during Trump's administration due to tariffs.

Higher Quality Goods: I would like to point out that American-made products often adhere to stricter quality standards compared to foreign goods, which can be cheaply and poorly made. Investing in domestic goods means longer-lasting products, reducing waste and saving money over time.

Ethical Responsibility: I would like to bring attention to the unethical labor practices, such as child labor, often used in countries that produce cheap goods. By imposing tariffs, the U.S. discourages importing products made under exploitative conditions, promoting global fairness.

National Security: Such as seen within the steel industry and energy ensures the U.S. isn't reliant on foreign nations for critical resources, which could be a vulnerability during global conflicts.

Economic Independence: Tariffs encourage companies to invest in local manufacturing, reducing reliance on global supply chains and safeguarding the economy against foreign market disruptions.

The above Five points very much outweigh the negative pessimistic views of 
1. Increased costs to consumers.
2. Trade Wars
3. Economic Disruption 

Places like Wal*Mart and Target and other brick and mortar (Chinese-R-us's) will be forced to re-organize to stay profitable.  

... Still waitng for that Coffee :)
