Do you think Trump will get Americans to buy American with his tariffs in place

Doubtful. Many things simply aren't made here anymore.
Plently of meat, becuase nobody will buy our meat.
Count on that happening to pretty much everything made in USA.
Dropping beef prices to come!

Doesn't really matter to me, my pop runs a very small "boutique" cattle operation. Range fed organic beef you can meet before it's meat.

But other folks will eat cheaper.
 
Does it matter if Americans buy American as long as manufacturing jobs come back and the unemployment rate continues to be historically low? The strange thing is that hypocrite lefties criticize tax breaks but they whine about Coca Cola prices going up a couple of cents because of tariffs. It's all about the politics of hatred.
 
Americans most often will choose convienece and affordability. This is why Walmart is so popular. Same goes for businesses. The only way to “get” people to buy American is to make our goods cost competitive with the over seas manufacturers. Tariffs are just a tax on goods that the consumers will have to eat, so is consumers will pay more and the government will keep the tax revenue.

The problems run deep. Tariffs may help with negotiations but they are not a long term solution

Tariffs are the tools of a long term solution to the last fifty years of chickenshit presidents caving into bad trade deals. What else do we have but a President with balls? Americans should be united in supporting the President but alas the elitist mainstream media is on a different page.

Have you always been in support of tariffs? Historically conservatives have been promoters of free trade and the free market
 
"We have really rebuilt China and it's time that we rebuild our own country now,” Trump says at Ohio rally, complaining about trade deficits.

"Tariffs are working far better than anyone ever anticipated. China market has dropped 27% in last 4months, and they are talking to us. Our market is stronger than ever, and will go up dramatically when these horrible Trade Deals are successfully renegotiated. America First Tariffs have had a tremendous positive impact on our Steel Industry. Plants are opening all over the U.S., Steelworkers are working again, and big dollars are flowing into our Treasury. Other countries use Tariffs against, but when we use them, foolish people scream! Tariffs will make our country much richer than it is today. Only fools would disagree. We are using them to negotiate fair trade deals and, if countries are still unwilling to negotiate, they will pay us vast sums of money in the form of Tariffs. We win either way ...China, which is for the first time doing poorly against us, is spending a fortune on ads and P.R. trying to convince and scare our politicians to fight me on Tariffs- because they are really hurting their economy. Likewise other countries. We are Winning, but must be strong!" - Trump

Sometimes I question whether or not Trump understands what a trade deficit is

Trump doesn’t understand how trade works because why would he, it’s not like he’s president or anything.

A sad reality. He either doesn’t understand these concepts or he does and misrepresents them in his public statements. Either way it’s not good

Of course, American production will ramp right up, companies stop flooding the slave wage labor nations, and America will benefit!
