They didn't learn from the last time, when U.S. soybean farmers got screwed (the first time) and other countries established alternate supply chains that of course didn't involve the U.S. at all.
As the USA makes itself a trade pariah and other countries forge new relationships amongst themselves, we're permanently devalued. The world will (continue to) move on without a backward-looking, unreliable, sad, and obnoxious USA.

They absolutely learned. They learned those soybean farmers they screwed through outright incompetence or being too stupid to govern would still consume their propaganda and happily vote for them again.
Trump's inner circle like Navarro, Miller etc. do not give two hoots about Soybean farmers or anyone else. They think poverty is a good thing if helps their view of "nationalism".
