As of today, Canada and Mexico are putting 10K people on our respective
borders, and Panama is appearing to cut loose from China and allowing
our warships through the canal for free. Tariffs for the three countries
have been suspended for now.
DJT has been in office for nearly a month and has done more for
America, in that time, than Obama and Biden did in twelve years.

HAHAHAHA  Canada and Mexico are doing for him what they have already

    Trump:
    "The USA has major deficits with Canada, Mexico, and China
(and almost all countries!), owes 36 Trillion Dollars, and
we?re not going to be the 'Stupid Country' any longer.
MAKE YOUR PRODUCT IN THE USA AND THERE ARE NO TARIFFS! Why
should the United States lose TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN
SUBSIDIZING OTHER COUNTRIES, and why should these other
countries pay a small fraction of the cost of what USA
citizens pay for Drugs and Pharmaceuticals, as an example?
THIS WILL BE THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA!"
     You couldn't make it up.

Times have changed.  We don't have enough people to make everything we want to buy. Sure, we can make more stuff here, but then we don't want to pay the price for it.
I got married in 1966 and bought a 19" B&W portable TV made in the USA and paid about $160 for it.  Over a week's pay at the time.  Look at what I can buy today for the same real dollars price made in Asia.
