iPhones will be made in Toledo soon!

I’ll see your $3 billion and raise you $65 billion.

I want to know every China made product. I will make every effort to never buy another item from there, including this iPad. When it eventually dies, the replacement will be made in America. It will be more expensive but my kids and grandkids are worth it. It will be difficult at first but it will be the best thing for all of us.

There’s some things that are “assembled” here.

Why is there such a HUGHE difference between our exports and their imports? Bush’s fault? The old one for doing it and the young one for not fixing it. And of course, Clinton’s fault for selling themselves along with all of our military secrets.

[sheana]

If you look at the list there are no name brand products there. It is all components or ingredients used to make things. There is no way you can avoid them.

I just got a really nice Milwaukee cordless 1/4” drive power ratchet. Made Professionally in China! I’m not sending it back...until I at least get some use out of it.

[wetgundog]

China needs us, more that we need them. Their matching tariffs is a bluff. They cannot go very long without our soybeans and we sure a hell can do with out there crap for a long time. Their industries would collapse with out our imports, and there people would not be very happy without jobs.

[bk1000]

Keep them all. We’ll do just fine. Y’all might get hungry though...

[Go Gordon]

I assume the US government collects the tariff revenue and it goes into the general fund. Since Trump is generating the revenue, why not use it to build the wall?

Impressive...some of those items are only available from Chinese sources. This will be interesting.

[coon2000]

Sorry. It can be done. We have become lazy.

I bet some guys in America can make your drill much better. It will be a little costlier but better. And Americans are building it, not slaves.

[central_va]

It will be more expensive but my kids and grandkids are worth it.

Cost difference to produce iPads etc. in the USA is minuscule. There isn't that much labor in each iPad. Less than 1% of retail. You'd probably not even notice the difference in price.
