The problem with this theory is the tariffs will both have to remain in place for a decade and businesses will have to believe that they'll remain in place for a decade for that to pan out.

Nobody is building a new factory, based on tariffs that they expect to be gone in three years time.

Three years? I'll be surprised if the tariffs last three months.
