They can move to the U.S. and then pay tariffs to import the parts, and have a smaller international demand for the product do to retaliatory tariffs and just straight avoidance of U.S. products while making their product in a higher cost to operate area. OR they can build a mine, pay higher lifting costs, higher wages, produce a much more expensive product of shitty quality to keep the price hopefully low enough that they can still have a demand for the product abroad, but everyone will coorelate their American products as shit because they cut corners to try to keep the costs low enough while having higher expenses. So no one wants their product. Or they could not cut corners and make a great product that costs so much that their market shrinks down to inoperable levels and go out of business.

You’re not getting it. He said it in ALL CAPS, so the globally-connected economy doesn’t actually exist. Tariffs punish BAD GUYS and have no effect on GOOD GUYS. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
“Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had.”

He also doesn't read. Ever. The only book he is known to possess (a gift) is one with speeches by Hitler. He probably hasn't even read that one. He had also real trouble reading the teleprompter during the campaign trail and seemingly ignored it most of the time.
Yes, I read that too. Not the president the US needed, as he is simply unsuitable for this office due to his lack of education alone, but apparently the one the country deserves, as he was elected despite everything everyone can and should know about him.
Over half of US citizens can't read over a sixth grade level. So he really does represent a majority of US Americans in that regard.
Yeah, there’s a LOT of evidence that Trump is functionally illiterate. He just scrapes by with telling people he doesn’t have time to read, or having people read things for him.
Yeah they need to move their forests and mines to the USA!
his audience wouldn't notice the issue with this claim
Mainly because they are SO SO SO fucking dumb.
Oh, so immigrants are ok if they're companies?
Immigrants are okay if they're rich.
And white
Preferably Russian and and oligarch.
Or South African
Trump always talks like a dummy who is fed half baked ideas by someone only slightly smarter than he is.
Isn't that exactly what's happening?
He sounds like a toddler who learnt a new word explained to them by their slightly older cousin.
Lol... that's insanely hilarious.... or is it hilariously insane? I can't keep track with this nut job
Oh, sure. Spend billions on moving factories to a xenophobic, undereducated, and burgeoning fascist society instead of expanding into more stable, emerging markets without an unstable fuckwit for a leader.
I mean, that's exactly what happened with China
Yeah because it was cheaper labor. The US does not have that level of cheap labor.
It doesn't have that level YET.
That's also not how that works. China can get away with having cheap labor because it also has cheap cost of living. But the cost of living in the US is ridiculously high. These tariffs are only going to make the cost of living go up.
because it was cheaper labor
at some point, eventually, maybe... american's will come to realise chinas economic growth and domination of manufacturing and technology is built on a far more sophisticated suite of policies (good and bad) then they have been brainwashed into believing.
huawei isn't huawei bc they pay their employees less.
you should jump on a plane and check it out, genuinely fun country to travel in and you will learn a lot.
no im not a tankie, taiwan fucking rocks.
That's a dumb argument, labor in the 80s when we started to shift heavily into China was factually orders of magnitude cheaper and they had almost no labor regulations. Now sure they have more protections but that isn't reflective of years gone by.
So he wants me to migrate to the US and start a business?
Only if your complexion allows you to use mayonnaise as foundation.
What if I use it as hair conditioner?
When your president failed ~~law school~~ kindergarden.
Here, corrected that for you
Well naturally, if all the companies move to the US, there won't be tariffs because there won't be trade. With the way the US is going these days, I'm wondering if the US might come to the companies instead
Dude, they did, under Biden's IRA. The one you just tore up.
Jesus, dude. This guy is too old, stupid and evil to lead.
Failed law school? He failed elementary school
If the tariffs work, then how are tariffs going to fund the government? Seems like a lie
If the rest of the western powers divest amd braindrain from the US, can they afford to upkeep their nuclear arsenal?
IF US COMPANIES HAVE NO MATERIALS, THERE ARE NO JOBS.
This is his idea of a school in the first place.
wow. he's not orange in the photo in the top of that article!
He means he'll drop tariffs in companies start building here. Problem is, factory owners aren't stupid enough to invest in a factory that will become obsolete when these idiot tariffs are dropped.
Walking advertisement for Wharton.
