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.
I dunno if they'll all use robots. I can envision an endgame where they impose "worker discipline" to create an abused underclass that makes all the stuff inside America.
And I'm not even using my imagination to envision that. I'm just looking at America's history.
