We’re talking low skilled workers, like the kind of people who’d fill the manufacturing jobs Trump says he wants to bring back. He just doesn’t want them to have collective bargaining, benefits or a living wage. Its all moot though because his tariff war had nothing to do with jobs anyway.

Maximum Overkill 1,756 Posted Monday at 03:56 PM CNN lied all along and even admitted It today. Beijing’s upbeat and positive tone stands in stark contrast to its previous statements about the trade conflict with the US. For weeks, Chinese officials had projected a defiant position, demanding the US remove all tariffs on China before agreeing to come to the negotiation table. The substantial, if temporary, breakthrough was unexpected. Just last week, Bessent sought to manage expectations by suggesting that his goal for the talks was “de-escalation” of tension and not “a big trade deal,” as the US and China had been at a virtual stalemate since Trump imposed his tariff policy. -CNN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We probably could boost manufacturing with tariffs, but only if they’re long-term and US consumers commit to paying more for US made products basically forever.

Obviously Don wasn’t making that argument on the campaign trail. Nothing is stopping people from paying more now for American Made stuff. They don’t choose to by and large because they want better prices. Not to mention the free market pushes products to be better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
