The tariffs will hurt us and the U.S., plus the tariffs Trump says he is going to impose on other countries will those countries and the U.S.

I kind of get the isolationist perspective. Large nations that have the territory and resources to be self-sufficient can benefit in some ways by going alone. But like communism, it's something works in theory, but breaks down in practice. There are always going to be somethings your country just can't produce economically, or even at all, necessitating trade and alliances. Especially in this day of age where products and supply chains have become very complicated. It's a much different world than it was 100 years ago. The other option is for isolationist nations to just appropriate what they need, which is what brought us things like colonialism and eventually world wars.
