Trump wins because people are sick of all the WOKE nonsense.

Trump will definitely fix the fleeing Corps to overseas countries. He already promised to add tariffs to imports and eliminate the income tax. In theory this will force manufacturing to produce here in the US.

Yes the filthy confederate will fix it all it will be glorious and eggs and gas will be almost free on January 21st

my god Dana didn’t realize you had a lobotomy

You're fooling yourself if you think imposing tarrifs will force manufacturing to return here. First they'll reroute their operations outside of China, many companies are already reshoring to other countries. If that doesn't work, they'll just eat the cost of the tarrifs and pass it on to consumers. There's a good quote in this article by a CEO of a toy company, the guy says

“We can’t just start making Barbie dolls and Tonka trucks and Care Bears in the U.S...Not overnight, not in the next 12 months, and frankly speaking, never.”

The average CEO or corporate board would not make a decision that destroys all profitablity for their company, and that's exactly what would happen if companies had to operate in the US. What they will do is increase prices and accept that they'll be selling less product. Either way, prices for the average consumer will increase and we won't get more jobs.

I'm also not saying any of this is good. But it's the reality of the world we live in. Americans want Walmarts filled with endless rows of cheap toys and appliances and clothes, they've been conditioned at this point this think that stuff should be priced the way it is...but it's priced the way it is because we're exploiting fellow workers overseas.

Adding tarriffs was originally designed to level the playing field against foreign entities that undercut our goods and products. The key here is if you have no production of these goods and products you also have no leverage. The consumer suffers with higher prices and it assumes that they would sit and wait years for the onshoring process and massive expenditure to take place. Would investors choose to go down that road? The government could choose to fund this with incentives and taxbreaks costing the taxpayer more money. The Republicans have opposed and attacked these kinds of measures when Democrats passed this kind of legislation creating better jobs for middle class americans. I don't think this is the Cheeto-Musk plan.
