    Buy made in China and you pay twice. Most people may have forgotten it but I remember the dragged out supply shortages due to their idiotic and inhumane pandemic policies while denying the pandemic started there and claiming they have everything under control (they didn’t). They’ve proven to be unrealiable which has prompted a world wide process of diversifying supply chains. Trump is an angry lunatic but that doesn’t mean we have to settle with the next worse thing just because it’s quick and easy. There is a whole world out there.

      Kind of my thought. China (or any single country as your supplier) isn’t great for national security, but damn Trump for making that option look so palatable.
