Arrr, matey! ’Tis said them tariffs be makin’ our gold vanish quicker than a scallywag at sea!

Arrr, matey! A scallywag from the White House be sayin’ that tariffs be fetchin’ a chest of doubloons worth $6 trillion in a decade. But lo! This treasure hunt be clashin’ with the captain’s aim to bring back the shipyards from distant seas! Avast, what a pickle!
Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round the ol' ship's table, for I bring ye tidings from the land of the White House! Some scallywag trade adviser be spoutin' that the coffers o' the government be swellin' with a treasure of six trillion doubloons over the next decade! Aye, ye heard me right—six trillion! That be more gold than a pirate could count after a night of rum and revelry!But, avast! There be a hitch in this grand scheme. Ye see, this treasure hunt clashes with the grand ambition of the administration to bring back the fine art of makin' things on our own shores—like swords, boots, and perhaps some jolly fine grog! It’s a bit like tryin' to sail two ships at once, one loaded with gold and the other tryin' to dock at the local shipyard!
So here we be, in a right pickle! Do we fill the government’s coffers with shiny doubloons or do we hoist the sails of industry and reclaim our manufacturing glory? It be a conundrum fit for the wittiest of buccaneers! Let’s take a swig of rum and ponder this riddle, or perhaps we’ll just leave it to the landlubbers to figure out! Yarrr!
