During this time, there was little to no industry in the US and they imported most of their stuff from Britan, which obviously wasn't something they were too happy about. The new country went hard with the tariffs and it helped the country grow its own domestic industries.

Twist ending: Trump comes out as the ultimate leftist neoglobalist. His entire life has been dedicated to cultivating the most unabashed narcissistic piss baby entitled con man personality, as a front, just so he can convince America to share its wealth and power, collapse American hegemony, and permanently destroy conservatism. He's the only one that has the special Yank whisperer powers to convince an entire nation of dumbfucks to act against their own self interest.

At this point nothing would surprise me.

The MAGA brand, at it's heart, is just saying your policies loudly over and over again and calling anyone who disagrees with you stupid.
