Yep, when your favorite Democrat, FDR, was calling the shots. I didn't expect to find you criticizing FDR this morning!

Try to get it through your head: Economic sustainability matters. Right now we don't have that but, thanks to tariffs, we will in a few years. Donald Trump is bringing manufacturing back to the U.S.
[W]e built a sustainable economy, we did this thing, starting with Alexander Hamilton, where we said it’s really going to matter that we make things in the United States. … Yeah, we’re going to import stuff, we [were] never not going to buy stuff from abroad, but we were going to make sure that the internal American economy was healthy, could produce a lot, provided jobs…not just for people with graduate degrees, not just for somebody who is going to work on Wall Street, but for people with less education…so that means you need an industrial base. We built that economy…behind a very high tariff wall…it built America into an economic powerhouse.”
