I think American manufacturers are going to be feeling the pain as well. The tariffs on steel and aluminum will be felt in pretty much every industry.

It will be interesting to see what the long-term consequences will be. I do feel like we've enabled the rise of a radical authoritarian government, and now this generation has to deal with a powerful and aggressive China that was enabled by the previous generation's "entrepreneurs" trying to make a quick buck from what was almost slave labor.
