Well sure! If a company can choose between manufacturing in Mexico or USA, they're going to pick Mexico every time. We should have told them we'd tariff them if they left. In other words, to sell it here, you have to make it here. Now it's too late. Trump tried that in 2019 and manufacturing HALTED suddenly. Suddenly people weren't buying. It was too expensive. Prices shot up. INFLATION occured. Because Trump started a trade war with China. Republicans here said sorry I was going to have to suffer initially but it's better if we buy American and bring jobs back home. Guess what? Trump didn't win that trade war. He just slowed down growth and cost a lot of people a lot of money.
I was like holy shit is it going to happen again? Is Trump going to fuck me like Bush did in the 2000's?
U.S. has lost 5 million manufacturing jobs since 2000
And most of those workers found service jobs that don't pay nearly as much.
So the people Republicans said worth overpaid in the 2000's, are the same uneducated blue collar workers today who are voting Republican? How? Because Trump blamed lllegals and said he'd bring their jobs back home. Idiots. Deplorables.
