I think I miscommunicated my support for some trade policy change as support for Trump’s “liberation day” tariffs. Here are things I think we should fix:

- America and Hypotheticalstan each export $1T to each other with a bunch of tariffs on various things. America raises $50B in tariff revenue on Hypotheticalstan’s imports while Hypotheticalstan raises $100B on American imports.

- America doesn’t make enough defense-critical stuff: steel, solar panels, chips, aluminum, rare earths, etc.

- America has a ~$918B trade deficit.

Things I do not care about:

- Vietnam makes our Nikes.

- We have a trade deficit with specifically Vietnam.
