Maybe... maybe... if this were a discussion about only his protectionism on Chinese tech, yea, maybe you have a point. Literally everything is coming off the rails because Trump is so obscenely corrupt, so we'll never actually know. A new wall of tariffs, extreme oil prices, subpoenas on journalists for reporting on his Qatari (bribe) plane, the fact that he made about two and a half billion dollars last year somehow (1.5B in TrumpCoin bribes)... This shit just doesn't happen under Democrats or pre-MAGA Republicans.
Yea, if it were just some "big bad concern" about protectionism, sure. My point is that when you elect a corrupt idiot, the protectionism might actually be about protecting his (literal) friends and family's investments, rather than some dying American industry.
