Man you must be so tired at the end of every day...running around telling all the people who use Windows that you're a Linux user must really take a toll on the body...

The USA is, depending on the year, the 2nd or 3rd largest exporter in the world. Largest Food exporter. Largest importer of non-perishable items. Oh, and the world's largest market. The USA is the world leader in IP, R&D and Business Services, along with most heavy manufacturing tech and a near monopoly on extraction technologies.
 
Though, for our purposes, the USA is also the world's leading exporter of "Fake News". Trump won by playing the game. Re-read my first paragraph. Nearly all manufacturing can be moved back to the USA in 1-2 years, if necessary. As technological production automates more & more, there's little reason to have line workers that a paid extremely poorly to put things together. 
 
But, on the Fake News aspect, that's really why people don't understand these issues. We're victims of highly interested groups that want to push very specific economic interests. And those economic interests go against the interests of the majority of Americans. It's fairly simple. The tariffs change calculations for everyone involved in an industry. Sure, Americans, for a time, might be pay $2 extra on a $20 USD purchase, but how is that different than price fluctuations that generally happen? But that pricing difference changes what local producers can do within a market. 25% import tariff can protect entire industries, as that's a pretty standard level of tariff in most of the world. 
 
Leadership positions are only lost because you get invaded & conquered. Or, in the case of much in the States, foreign & domestic enemies of the people conspired to exfiltrate the wealth of the country. Trump's being "nice" at this stage. The USA can obliterate China's economy overnight, which is why the "trade normalization" process is going in steps. As much as China doesn't like this, this was hashed out back in early 2017 when Xi visited Florida. What we're seeing is the slow rollout of a process that'll still take a few more years, as to keep the disruptions down a bit. The power of long-term planning.
 
6 more years.
 
It looks like they're going to push CAD to 1.4, 1.5 and possibly far higher than that. Might take a trip down to 1.2 before they do it though. It's the likely explanation for why Trudeau & company have been ordered to tank the NAFTA negotiations. You guys are in for some pain over the next few years.
