Trump Tariffs are going into effect worldwide as of today, reciprocal measures harshest against asian adversaries like india and china, relatively nicer for our friends in England or Japan. This plan will effectively put America first by driving up revenue, bashing down unfair trade partners or otherwise, return industry, incentivise domestic investment.
Such a dramatic shift in world order—which since WW2 has been incredibly fake and gay and seen the governments of both the United States and Europe sell-out their own workers—seems ‘painful’ financially. That pain is well-deserved and very necessary, without it we would never move past the global tragedy that has been post-1945 economics.

Trump Tariffs are going into effect worldwide
Enacting worldwide reciprocal tariffs is objectively positive. He is setting the stage for near revolutionary change in our relationship with work and wages, so far as the last century goes. And such a big change significantly reduces the apparent need for foreign workers or foreign students when we are focusing on domestic, native development.

Coupling sufficient efforts of deregulation with deliberate inspiration of citizen well-being, a good government may establish long-term prosperity for its people. President McKinley, by whom American productivity tripled, followed this logic. As did Napoleon, whose France built up Western Europe.
Both leaders enacted tariffs to do so. President Trump using this model is welcomed; a nationalist tactic in an otherwise nation-rotting world. What's needed to secure it now is stricter immigration restriction—the importation of foreigners eats the joy of those who belong.

Napoleon used Tariffs to defend and develop his expansive French economy.

The third-worlding of our country and our people impoverishes as much as it denigrates, ruins as much as it torments.

Prosperity for the people by way of economic greatness and demographic comfort must come with putting down the criminally-inclined, a law enforcement effort of epic proportions. Trump should deliver on his plan to unencumber our lawmen of conduct rules & Civil Rights / BLM restrictions, and we cannot ignore the race factor, to Make our Cities clean Again.

Cultured American
Washington Used Tariff to Protect American Manufacturing Industries
The Tariff Act of 1789 was enacted with the declared purpose, “the encouragement and protection of manufactures.”... signed by President Washington. ...
Of the nations that have risen to economic preeminence in recent centuries—the British before 1850, the United States between 1789 and 1914—how many did so through free trade? None.
The problem for President Trump?
Once a nation is hooked on the cheap goods that are the narcotic free trade provides, it is rarely able to break free. The loss of its economic independence is followed by the loss of its political independence, the loss of its greatness and, ultimately, the loss of its national identity.

‘We must learn to sacrifice some of the present to secure a better future’... Long-term thought means being able to think as far as a century and break down quarters, not worried about brief disruption of comfort but wanting foundations and motivation for the future. This matters as much in economy as it does for national demography or your close family.

It was amusing at first but this seems to need clarification for many people: Heard and Macdonald (penguin island) is a territory of Australia. It is included regardless of what happens there because all territories attached to any nation are affected and 10% is the default. This is why Tuvalu and the British Indian Ocean Territory etc. are listed too. They all have imports and exports.

The Germanies between Bismarck and Wilhelm enforced tariffs with varying success, applying them broadly to sectors of interest like industry and agriculture, adjusting as negotiation or necessity called for it. There is ample reasoning behind the regime at play even if aggressive at launch—wait to see how deregulation intended by EPA, HHS, so on in concert with tax reform and trade balance pans out. That's all for tariff talk for the time being.

DOW is down—which should bother no one. Gas & grocery cost is being dropped, energy production is headed for a climb, investment is booming, foreigners are feeling the heat and competitors are begging to negotiate. A trend we tend to win, and it won't stop there.

“Foreign Luxuries and needless Manufactures imported and used in a Nation ... increase the People of the Nation that furnishes them, and diminish the People of the Nation that uses them.—Laws therefore that prevent such Importations, and on the contrary promote [Export and Manufacture at home]... strengthen a Country doubly, by increasing its own People.

“The Importation of Foreigners into a Country... will be in the End no Increase of People, unless the Newcomers have more Industry and Frugality than the Natives, [but then] they will gradually eat the Natives out.—Nor is it necessary to bring in Foreigners to fill up any occasional Vacancy in a Country; for such Vacancy will soon be filled by natural Generation.”
Prescient Observations on the Increase of Mankind by Benjamin Franklin in 1755. He illustrates what role trade & travel has in national health and warns that skilled immigrants often pose a great threat.
