American manufacturing is not ready to return all business to the US from China. On the other hand they cannot sustain a trade war for much longer w/o cheap labor abroad. Be prepared to see further exemptions.

What he's doing only makes sense if the Republican party is actively trying to destroy the US, because that's what he's doing and they're cheering him on.
