International free trade is what nuked out industrial base. Terrible policy.

We already had a trade war with China and all we got from it was higher steel & manufacturing costs.

My brother in Christ, do you enjoy paying 80 dollars for a white t shirt? Because without international free trade that’s what you’re looking at. I pity anyone who relies on writing utensils, stationary, etc. in that world.
You massively underestimate the cost advantages that come with overseas slave labor. Without it, you and I wouldn’t be able to navigate our asses from our elbows in that economy. I’m afraid the world never stopped running on slaves.
