Can someone TLDR me on why Trump is so fond of protectionism and tariffs?

Basically this admin is run by JD Vance behind the scenes and he gets most of his info from Twitter anon accounts.

They basically think that China being able to make a bunch of cars means that they can (in wartime) modify those factories to produce fighter jets or tanks or some shit and then rayp us like how we rayped the Germans and japs back in the 1940s.

What they don't understand is that fighter jets and tanks don't use the same engines as cars anymore and it's not possible to make them outside of a dedicated facility so it's basically irrelevant how many cars you make in a war. Those factories can make brackets or whatever but you're not making a jet engine in an f150 line

This is basically a cautionary tale about giving 110 iq midwits like jd Vance and cremieux access to the internet

this is a good point actually, seemingly a lot of these people don't understand how complex manufacturing weapons has become, and it isn't as simple as converting a few factories like we did in the 1930s.

Kek I'm convinced that JD Vance actually thinks that a toaster production line could hypothetically make an f135 after a month of conversions or something.

That's why he keeps talking about it.

Someone should just correct him and then he'll melt down and start asking them to say thanks or something with his very Low T voice
