1. Trump can do what he wants, but when others stop buying American goods, it is for naught.

Just look at what the dust up with Canada cost US winemakers. Sales were already down as a general trend away from alcohol consumption in the US and elsewhere. Canadians have cancelled virtually all orders for US wine, even gone so far as to pull stuff they already bought off the shelves. CA winemakers alone say their sales are down 10% over the Canadian loss. Beer and spirits makers having similar issues. Governments aren't the ultimate consumer and when you tick off the little guy in Canada, China or wherever, and they just don't buy your stuff anymore, you aren't reshoring US manufacturing and other industries, you are killing them.
