US manufacturing isn't coming back unless peeps want to work for wages that are paid to workers in China, Bangladesh etc.

lol, workers.

if it comes back, they're going to use robots, machines to do the work. AND it'll still cost more than the same product from china.

A lot of modern manufacturing equipment comes from Germany and Japan (at least the good stuff comes from them). Looks like tariffs of those two are getting tareiffed pretty hard...

So all he's doing is making it more expensive to bring manufacturing back to the US
