You're full of shit tariffs built this country ...
No tariffs didn't build this country dumbass, they almost destroyed it during the Great Depression.
Reading hasn't killed anyone yet, an economic lil Einstein genious like you might want to try it with these two links.

Tariffs and deregulation!
Did you ever think about a corporation like Apple that produces the I-phone? Let's just imagine that everyone in this country buys and I-phone, no one needs anymore. So do you expect Apple just to shut it's doors while thousands of employees lose their jobs?
Today corporations obviously have to compete in the Global market to keep their business open, meaning they are forced to ship manufacturing overseas, so people in foreign countries can afford to buy their products. You benefit because you're not paying $1500.00 for an I-phone that was manufactured in the States, where employers are required to pay Social Security, Medicare, Unemployment insurance, Workman's compensation insurance and medical insurance.
Do you understand how this works now. Tariffs have never created a single job in this country, they are great for creating recessions and depressions and lots and lots of job layoffs.
I know Trump campaigned on a nationalized movement, but we are in a Global economy that is here to stay, because we wouldn't survive without it. Trump is no nationalist. No one could be a nationalist and own as many foreign hotels, golf courses and casino's as he does. You were taken in by a T.V. reality star conman, who was simply being directed by Steve Bannon.
In fact Trump was planning on building a yuuuge Trump tower in downtown Moscow while he was running for POTUS. That's how "nationalist" he really is---
Trump’s business sought deal on a Trump Tower in Moscow while he ran for presidentWhile Donald Trump was running for president in late 2015 and early 2016, his company was pursuing a plan to develop a massive Trump Tower in Moscow, according to several people familiar with the proposal and new records reviewed by Trump Organization lawyers.
