The Trump administrationās tariff scheme appears less and less likely to bring manufacturing jobs back to U.S. shores.
Businesses across the country are crunching the numbers and realizing that, despite Donald Trumpās insistence, they canāt balance out his tariff hikes across the supply chain.
āSome manufacturers who had plans to open factories in the country say the new duties are only adding to the significant obstacles they already faced,ā Bloomberg reported Friday.
Thatās because the supply chain to produce those goods in the United States simply isnāt there, requiring companies to import raw materials and factory equipmentāwhich Trumpās tariffs have made unaffordableāfrom abroad.
Never listen to the reason they claim to be doing something, look only to what they are doing. And that, quite clearly, day after day indicates that they are doing everything they can to destroy the USA, as quickly as possible. Once one has determined what they are doing, then ask who does this benefit.
The thing is, it doesnāt really benefit anyone. If youāre Russia, for instance, it would be better to destroy the entire democratic world than just the United States, and Trump could have done that if heād just moved more slowly on some of his actions (for instance, if heād remained quiet about Canada until after our election then weād be in a very different situation now.) Trumpās just an idiot, plain and simple, and the people he surrounds himself with are either idiots themselves or too cowardly to call the idiots out on their idiocy.
Itās a mistake to think that either he or his handlers have some kind of master plan and that everything Trump does is the result of expert manoeuvring that just looks like stupidity. That promotes defeatism and gets people to surrender prematurely. As long as people stand up to Trump, he will lose.
I know, right?!? But the stupidity seems so be working far too well at the moment. So I donāt think itās useful to listen to what they say, except in that so much of the time every accusation is a confession. Iām so glad trump didnāt just stfu, and so Canada and Australia (who has their own billionaire who wonāt stfu) are in much better positions as a result. It is my sincere hope that their hubris will be their downfall. And dang if the whole catholic world didnāt just ācome outā as being a little more sane, a little less fascist.
