The government will take trillions from the American populous, then when all manufacturing comes back to the US, tariff revenue will drop to zero. But Americans will still pay the higher prices to the corporations.

…and none of the factories will employ humans, as they’ll all use robots.

GENIUS long term plan guys. GENIUS.

It actually does sound genius if you don’t value humanity or nations. If you’re trying to build something different this does sound like some interesting staging of some new society. I think it’s insane but it sure does look intentional in all regards.

No one in their right mind is gnna build a factory based on anything Don says or does. The guy will change his mind by tmrw, then again by Monday. There will be no tariffs by Tuesday. This country is a joke.

Even in a slightly different universe where Donny is rock solid and committed to tariffs, by the time you build a factory Dems might have taken Congress and/or the presidency. Not even true believers would build a factory in this environment.
