He rattled on forever about all kinds of 'facts and figures' ....I take it this is only a start on pulling apart all the gonads he spouted?

Although its for the wrong reasons, the ripping apart of the Washington Consensus might have positive consequences for the world. For too long it's only worked for the interests of the 1%.
Greater economic localism (alongside social internationalism) is also fundamentally one of the main ways of solving the climate crisis.

The Allied Forces were sweeping through Germany and yet millions still believed in the Fuhrer.

Funny how humans repeat the same pattern over and over again.
The far right propaganda machine is far more effective at communicating than anything the left has managed to muster. Simple messaging that plays to people's basest fears and concerns. Until the left learns how to effectively counter this it will always struggle to get a progressive message across.
One reporter asked him how the tariffs were going, to which Trump said he thinks "it's going very well. It was an operation like when a patient gets operated on, and it's a big thing".
"We have six or seven trillion dollars coming into our country," the US president says, "the markets are going to boom, the stock is going to boom, the country is going to boom".
"And the rest of the world wants to see is there any way they can make a deal," he adds. "They've taken advantage of us for many, many years."

I think you've hit upon a dilemma truth here. There is little doubt that supporting local industry and products is a healthy thing for those communities. I always look to buy my food from small independent shops and small local farms. I've paid loads for my eggs forever but they are from local hens, and I like that. It is also true that we have a global system in place which cannot just be unplugged and reset, albeit that's essentially what we're seeing.
The main problem I see is that people want to 'buy local' but still scream and howl at the inconvenience and prices 'buying local' brings. And I agree with you re: the rampant and unchecked profiteering and absurd profit margins for which there never seems to be a compromise. I come from the school of 'well if dropping my profit margin from 200% to 150% can help my workers get paid a fairer wage and maintain the value of the goods produced' it's a win-win. Of course, I understand that to most this marks me as (at best) naive...there again, in my school, extreme wealth and power are not goals.
