They didn't learn from the last time, when U.S. soybean farmers got screwed (the first time) and other countries established alternate supply chains that of course didn't involve the U.S. at all.
As the USA makes itself a trade pariah and other countries forge new relationships amongst themselves, we're permanently devalued. The world will (continue to) move on without a backward-looking, unreliable, sad, and obnoxious USA.

Trump's inner circle like Navarro, Miller etc. do not give two hoots about Soybean farmers or anyone else. They think poverty is a good thing if helps their view of "nationalism".

They absolutely learned. They learned those soybean farmers they screwed through outright incompetence or being too stupid to govern would still consume their propaganda and happily vote for them again.
> cheap labor factories again isn't going to happen in 2025
It is not going to happen ever unless we plan to move people from better paying jobs in McDonalds and WellsFargo to China styled factories or we allow much higher immigration levels from South America.
Trump admin and his advisors genuinely believe that tariffs are good, that they will create factories and jobs within USA and enable white families to raise families on a single income. They think rest of the world's existence is a mistake, they hate Europe, China, India and South America. They don't know much about Africa and admire Russia.
