I’ve seen dozens of stories pointing out that Trump’s tariffs would raise the price of imported goods but few that mention how countervailing duties would also make our exports uncompetitive.
Some companies might move their factories here but industries that export would be fucked. Is this too hard to explain?

@JoshuaHolland I doubt someone clueless enough to not understand how tariffs hurt consumers is going to be moved by this argument.
But probably best to focus on his first term; unlike in 2016, we can actually see with some degree of confidence what he'll do if elected again. I think it's uncontroversial to say that from a trade perspective at least it wasn't /that/ bad?
