I’m not commenting on the efficacy of tariffs per se, but do people honestly expect a drastic increase in domestic manufacturing in such a short period of time?

Of course not, especially because we still don’t know if tariffs are going to survive judicial review. What manufacturer is going to go through the expense of relocating only to find that tariffs have been removed?
