I understand where he's coming from, but I personally disagree about us being worse off. It's a usage tax. Buy domestic and don't pay the tariffs. Frankly, there's never been enough pressure on exporters to keep goods in the country of origin either, so the reciprocal tariffs will hopefully put some pressure there.
That's why he didn't put tarrifs on coffee, chocolate and bananas. O wait, he did.
