You mean free traitors like Reagan, Bush and Bush who supported NAFTA -- when we were duly warned by Ross Perot in the 90s of the consequences. So we had 20 or so years of NAFTA and then TPP telling manufacturers to spend billions and years moving to other parts of the world.
After all, it's not like we didn't enjoy cheaper TVs, toasters, Kias and oh so many other goods that we bought without a gun to our heads (voting with pocketbook).
Now we've done a 180 in a day and are telling those same businesses to spend another boatload and move that factory back here again. And, oh by the way, do it 90 days.
And so the cycle will begin again, like our own domestic automakers did in the 70s and 80s, when our production was fat and lazy, producing low-quality cars with bloated labor. And then, first the Japanese and then others took over the business.
Nothing new under the sun. What a massive boondoggle!
“Now we’ve done a 180 in a day ... “
We? Speak for yourself kemosabe. I’m one of the freepers that was routinely criticized for not going along with free traitors.

From my plan:
1. 25%, on aircraft grade aluminum alloys and automotive grade ferrous metal,
2. on national security products [we could and should make],
a. initially 0%, and then increasing by 2% at the start of every IRS quarter month after 2025 to 20%, on
I. industrial level components,
II. any drug for lawful retail sale & consumer use,
III. drug, chemical and plastic industrial inputs, other than refinery hydrocarbons and those for making fertilizer,
VI. semiconductors,
V. solar cells and panels,
VI. basic rare earth element products other than ore,
Most of that is done by automated processes or needs to be done in the USA for national security reasons. Solar cells and panels will be the ‘oil’ of the second half of the 21st century.
Are we going to outsource F-35 production to Mexico?
