How are steel and aluminum tariffs not going to raise the cost of
manufacturing of almost everything? How does the consumer benefit?

They've denied their own consumers the benefits of world trade. Not the
problem of the rest of the world.

Why don't you demand a solution for bringing down domestic manufacturing
costs? The problem isn't isolating American consumers from world trade.
It's the sky high cost of land.

Find a graph that makes this point, that land values began rising faster
than the rate of inflation starting in the late '70s/early '80s. You
think tariffs will solve the land problem, given that land values in
decent areas nearly doubled during COVID? Of akk people you think might
get this, it's Trump.
