Mate - I am not criticising Trumps aims - getting manufacturers to produce at home is admirable.
However, his policies are all wrong - and a bit chaotic. There is a way to get this done and it isn't the path he is taking.
You don't kill the patient to cure them. He has little grasp of timing and economics in general, and his policies will do the reverse of what he intends them to do. They are inflationary and the uncertainty of him changing tack every few days is making no sense at all. In fact, it will make most companies NOT produce in America. As I said earlier, companies will just wait it out. All it will succeed in doing is reducing US exports - the other side of the trade equation.
Anyone with a grasp on reality can see that.
Little point is bringing some manufacturing back to the US if costs to the public go through the roof. Also ignores the fact that the US will not be able to manufacture products that are currently imported. Saw an interesting segment that explained this in relation to shoes, and it would cost 3-4 times more to manufacture in the US - that would be unsustainable, and demand would drop off so much that the factories in the US would shut down anyway.
