Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

Was he actually thinking that those $450 were just gifted by the exporter?

The propaganda on tariffs is that foreign imports are bad and domestic manufacturing is good.

Right, but you put the tariffs in place after you have the domestic manufacturing capabilities, not before.

When you can attract large foreign investments, the order matters less. You'll experience more pain by imposing tariffs first and building out infrastructure second. But we're governed by a party that seems to relish in the pain of their constituents. So this might be more of a feature than a bug.

It's interesting that you openly call it propaganda, and then go on to parrot it over and over.
