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.
Higher tech factories like cars and phones will use robots, but for regular things? They'll use people!
People will be so desperate for work and survival, they'll work anywhere for any price at that point. Minimum wage will be reduced or removed "for the people" and you'll get to work in a factory stamping a box for 10 hours a day, for 2 whole dollars!
Actually, well manufacture so much, other countries will move their factories to over here for the cheap price of la.. I mean Hugh quality American goods!
