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.

It depends on how you define "we". you think it includes the American people. He is using it to mean the oligarchs who control the government.
