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.
He's also fond of saying we're going to make trillions from the tariff payments, but we'll all be buying American products. The math does not check out.
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.
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.
