I think a lot of people in general (globally) don't understand modern manufacturing costs, requirements and restrictions. I've built a software business adjacent to it, and been around it on and off most of my career and always find people are so surprised what it takes to get something into a customer's hands.
Even with software I am sure customers think we just write down what they want and do the magic to turn it into a product.
In regard to America they don't understand a lot of the expertise is not in the states and people aren't going to go there now to deliver it.

They don't, at all. I've worked in manufacturing for a while, and was talking to family after the election...... they were genuinely surprised that we couldn't just roll up into an empty building, unbox a few machines, and be pumping out product in a day or so.
If they were kids, I'd assumed their brains had confused Minecraft with reality, but these were good old baby boomers. They have no excuse for being this stupid.
