Let's say you're an industrialist that's thinking about building an American factory and your Excel sheet agrees that you can do so and massively undercut tariffed products.

That's what some think will happen.

But Mr. Industrialist isn't stupid! He knows that post-tariff prices are going to piss people off and fuck the economy. Think he's going to get caught holding the bag when the tariffs are repealed?!
