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.

on CNBC, but said by the fucking Secretary of Commerce. Or do you think the trump-appointed SoC takes his talking points from CNBC writers? 🤦‍♂️

It's one thing to doubt statements made by the news organisation about the administration, but to doubt statements made by the administration and its members, just because they happen to have been made while on a news show, is fucking dumb.

There is a huge difference between "CNBC says X", and "The Secretary of Commerce, while on CNBC, said X"

This is not a statement of CNBC that we're discussing. It's a statement of the SoC.
