And that isn't going to last, take advantage of it while you can, America.
You can build domestic industry and jobs without this dumb shit. It's just going to reduce the purchasing power.

Do the imperialists not understand imperialism or am I missing something? Trump is really making me reconsider everything I know to be true
no, trump is part of the new wave of American reactionaries who actually believe their own propaganda. They attack the old guard imperialists as "the deep state", they literally don't understand.
They understand that to do imperialism efficiently you actually need domestic industry or other countries would just say to fuck off, but tariffs and subsidies are the only tools they have that don't significantly undermine internal power of the capitalist class.
