I love how I'm getting downvoted here :-D

Tariffs DONT make America rich, they make imported products more expensive to buy.

Then if and only if, they get so expensive that its cheaper to make them locally, they start industry to make them locally.

they're still more expensive than the pre tariff price, but they're now cheaper than the imported product.

I'm not arguing against tariffs.. just stating it like it is. and mocking the statement they current leader keeps repeating incorrectly.
