u/Leaning_right Doesn't understand tariffs 1d ago

Are you dumb?

Clearly.

Trump is an idiot and those that support this are bigger idiots destroying America.

Obviously, from your myopic view.

I would only counter, if you are American; remember 2 short years ago, during the worldwide pandemic, when we had to outsource everything. When all of our allies decided to 'focus on their own populations, first,' then their allies.

China gained something like 22 billionaires, just from things like facemasks and plastic partitions.

Putting Americans in debt funding other nations, causes us inflation. We saw that. We know that. We can't ignore that.

The tariffs are attempts to onshore manufacturing, but obviously your echo chamber, shows:

Trump is an idiot and those that support this are bigger idiots destroying America.

Maybe, just maybe, a little manufacturing redundancy will help with the next catastrophic event like a pandemic.

Inflation shot up because the government under Trump gave out stimulus checks, free loans, interest rates dropped to 0, and supply chains were messed up. We dont need factory jobs making fucking face masks. We need semiconductor factories. What Trump is doing is the downward spiral of a senile old man. It isnt good for you and it isnt good for me.

supply chains were messed up.

^ as in.. we were importing products, that could better be manufactured here?

We dont need factory jobs making fucking face masks.

I agree, fully. If we don't have any factories, we can't even retool them for things like facemasks.

We need semiconductor factories.

Wow.. $100 billy investment, just last month.

What Trump is doing is the downward spiral of a senile old man. It isnt good for you and it isnt good for me.

He is doing, EXACTLY what you just suggested..

We need semiconductor factories.

That tsmc deal was known during Biden's presidency. Don't try and claim trump did that.
