Always hilarious whenever these turbo-protectionist reindustrialize people reveal that they want tariff exemptions for all their inputs but want to keep tariffs for their outputs. Oh, now suddenly tariffs are bad when *you're* the one paying them?

They were a bunch of stupid racist dipshits and they cut USAID because of who it helped or because of the stupidest right wing slop we've seen
