Wasn't The Point of Tariffs to Make Companies Open Factories Here?

[Lesh]

Oh no, you mean before Trump brought in Billions and Billions more in investments.

Save your fantasies. Maybe you can write a book. A work of FICTION

 

[Thinker101]

That was written in February moron

Before Trump screwed the pooch

Great, here's one from April. Perhaps you can provide one of factories canceled.

Trump's done more good for peace and American commerce in the last 100 days than all previous President since Reagan have done in their entire terms COMBINED, including Trump 45

No he hasn't. Who are you trying to gaslight?!?

One shoe company, a fairly small one, can't manufacture in the US where they would have zero tariffs, because of tariffs. Sounds like fricken liberal logic.

That’s but one example

All companies in link provided are at least 10 times larger than the shoe company, employing 1000s, not 100's. The link also listed close to 10 companies. Should I wait for yours?

You listed companies talking about opening plants before Trump went tariff crazy

I don’t care how big they are.

What are they saying now?

Whatever skippy. I don’t see any plants being built

 

[Delldude]

Companies aren’t going to open factories when they have no idea what crazy idea Trump is going to come up with next

Chaos is bad for business

Tell us about the many investment actions that have already been reported.

 

[candycorn]

Oh the economy was booming till businesses got shut down.

Can you explain why the tariffs failed to bring manufacturing back?

Because if it had worked...we wouldn’t need to be doing the same failed policy 5 years later....right?

C’mon...you’re on a roll with the lame excuses....lets hear some more.

Jobs are already coming back. Over a trillion dollars are going Tobe invested in the United States. Thanks Trump.

Nope. It was to level the international trade playing field by incentivizing countries to lower their tariffs on our goods to equal levels. If they refuse to do so, one of the benefits would be an increase in US manufacturing.

• These tariffs seek to address the injustices of global trade, re-shore manufacturing, and drive economic growth for the American people.

So the intent is to "re-shore manufacturing", plus you say "level the international trade playing field".


Except that's a hoax.

How do we know it's a hoax?

Here's how we know:

Apple CEO Tim Cook donates $1 million to Trump inauguration​

Apple regains $3 trillion market cap after Trump exempts tariffs on iPhones​

Three trillion dollars. That's quite a return on Cook's one million dollar investment!

Apple is a HUGE manufacturer, and all they had to do was bribe Trump with a million dollars to keep their unlevel playing field intact, and not have to re-shore their manufacturing.

We live in a plutocracy.

Small businesses and farmers are fucked, but big business just has to slip Trump a few bucks and they are golden.

We were at 3% unemployment when the blob oozed into office the 2nd time. Where are they at?

If you believe Trump (which nobody does outside of MAGA does)... if you actually read the news...not so much.

 

[sartre play]

If you are rich, we are going in the right direction.
IF you are not rich, please take a little look at the added cost of everything.
Lets get both major party's working for the majority of AMERICANS.

You mean those 800,000 new jobs Biden lied about? Oh and when biden got back in office people started going back to work. That isn’t creating jobs.

Make companies? Socialist lefties are so used to government mandates that they don't even realize that Trump's intent isn't to force companies to do anything. The Founding Father's mission for the federal government is a simple two lines. "To provide for the common defense". "To promote the general welfare". By making it easier for companies to engage in manufacturing and trade, Trump is creating an environment that promotes the general welfare.
