US is the biggest consumer market, the most dynamic economy, and the wealthiest country in the world. No real world metric would ever implicate US as uninvestable. What this move is doing is making a few things very clear
1. US is decoupling full on from China. Any ally negotiating will have to show that they are not helping china to export, by putting up similar tariffs on China. Basically, declare your allegiance. And so far, no one has unexpectedly sided with China.
2. For the laggards who are waiting until the last seconds to move away from Chinese supply chain, trump is giving them more time but also telling them, hey it’s your last chance
3. Short squeeze for those who dare attack US economy
4. Navarros is the chief architect and his vision is aligned with trump to fully execute his plan. Just go read his book, he lays it all out
