You constantly hear the M$M and corporate types say Trump will walk back tariffs when he "gets what he wants". Trump has been very clear that he wants more manufacturing to occur in the US. Tariffs, in his mind, will force companies to restore state-site manufacturing and bring high paying jobs back to Americans. This only works if he applies tariffs that are large enough to get companies to build new plants in the US and the tariffs become permanent so that foreign goods are always more expensive than US ones.

Beside the BS about walking these tariffs back, I'd add the following follow up questions that our M$M have failed to bring up:

Which US states will be getting all of these wonderful new manufacturing plants? Red ones?

Given US healthcare is so expensive, won't this be a drag on any job creation?

Sure manufacturing may come back in some form but do we have the raw material resources and infrastructure to actually do this?

How much automation with there be in these new factories and won't that limit the number of jobs actually created?

Who do they think will want to work in these new jobs? Manufacturing jobs can be mind numbingly boring and sometimes dangerous. And who's to say most of these jobs won't pay poorly and/or have no company paid benefits (see high health care costs question).

Well that's what we get for handing over the keys to a convicted felon bankrupting con man. Who'd of thought this would happen?
