This is not "absolute protection". American companies import much more than they export, so if he can't do whatever he wants to imports, there is no economic freedom.

There is no economic freedom when it comes to import. That's a founding principle of the country that no one should be surprised by.

  Funny that Americans indoctrinated the entire world into thinking that import barriers were not civilized. And then now we discover that this is in fact a "founding principle"... right at the moment when the country cannot keep up with the competition. How convenient.

    We didn't 'discover' it. America's constitution is one of the shortest in the world and written in very clear language. The text is available for free around the world. Being ignorant of its contents is completely 100% on you.

      It seems that Americans are the ones who didn't know about this wonderful content for decades... only to rediscover now that it so important to restrict imports (when the country can't compete anymore, of course)!
