Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US?

The orange man also could’ve given all the major CEOs a heads up since it takes years to build a factory.

IMO this is the major flaw. Tariffs could work in practice, but you’d have to announce them way ahead of time to give local businesses time to fill in the gap. Otherwise you’ll get what happens now.

The first flaw is not discussing things with the people in charge of tariffs such as the secretary of treasury.
