It's from debunked economic theories from the early 20th century, even before the Smoot-Hawley Tarff Act of the early 1930s deepened the Great Depression.

TSF wants to be right so bad and thinks he's doing the right thing to help/bring back domestic production. Of course he's going by debunked info and nobody can tell him anything, and he's appointed 'yes' men/women who won't dare tell him any different. They just want to keep their jobs and many of the clown car cabinet don't know either as they're not experts in their field...just loyalists, a prime trump requirement.
