Who thought that putting a serial bankruptcy artist in charge of the nation's economy was a good idea? The whole premise of tariffs leading to US manufacturing

Who thought that putting a serial bankruptcy artist in charge of the nation's economy was a good idea?
The whole premise of tariffs leading to US manufacturing is a blatant lie. Raising the cost of raw materials (copper, aluminum, steel, wood, electroncs) while ridding ourselves of cheap labor isn't going to encourage manufacturing in the USA. It does the opposite.
And the stats show this:

Aside from raw materials, manufacturing in the 21st century will be about two things --- robotics and low cost energy.
Most high pay manufacturing jobs are gone like a '59 Cadillac, they ain't never coming back. Trump is pulling yet another con by claiming otherwise.
