The Commerce secretary was on CNBC yesterday am talking about how the tariffs will bring back manufacturing jobs to US. Then a few seconds later was talking about having Apple (and other companies) make their products in the US using robotics. So very few actual American humans getting jobs.

Yeah, American manufacturing produces more than it ever has. It's just a lot fewer people doing that manufacturing due to automation.
