    This would make sense if, for example, it were World War 2 and most production lines had to shift to support literally defeating the Nazis.

    This is not that.

      The problem is they’re being shifted to enrich the Nazis.

    The Hill is still framing the tariffs as if the country pays them: “x country is facing 40%” tariffs, instead of “US importers face a 40% tariff on importing from x country”

    There’s an error in that sentence. It’s for the good of the people running the country. Not for the country itself.
