17. 'people aren't going to buy'

No shit sheerluck! First you have to build the factories, then you to develop the product, then you have to get it on store shelves, then you impose tariffs to get people to buy American and sometimes THAT doesn't even work!
His problem is he's so out of touch with society he's living in the seventies. Remember Datsun, Toyota, Panasonic and Sony? You could've imposed tariffs on them and people would still buy them because at the time, they were the superior product!
Idiotman needs to stick his head out the window and see the world spinning 'round
And nobody seems to like him, they can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings
But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning 'round (oh oh oh)
