We talk about this on-air a lot.
What company is going to spend the $$ to bring production home — knowing that trade policy and tariffs could *reverse* just as the plant is ready to open?

Honda builds a big factory in the US bending to Trump; limited Honda sales elsewhere, other than their home country.
Steal Canada's auto industry; 1.4M car sales/year lost for US companies.
Looking forward to incoming international responses.
Just the fact that he's trying to cancel reveals the tariffs are just a scam setup for kickbacks.
For our part, it’s like watching insane people killing our family members burning down the entire town and doing nothing about it.
We are headed for bread lines.

With his diet, his morbid obesity, his vitriol - why doesn’t he just cry?*
*Rhymes with cry
Today wasn’t a clearing event.
Ideal? No. But U.S. Domestic automakers hyper fixation on quarterly numbers and tariffs is hurting them longterm.
Beginning to feel like a lost decade on the investment front.
I don't think they considered they were also getting the destruction of any sort of stability that might make it possible to anticipate important things like costs, sales, available workforce, etc.

It's time to impeach Trump and send him home to join his BFF Putin in Moscow. He'll be happier. We'll be happier. it's the best course of action.
As for Vance ... he should be sent home to Boss Thiel.

How much are we gonna pay in lawsuit settlements for people we detained/deported?
I'm serious, Where are they?!
Like an erratic ship captain, he’ll belay that tariff order and demand the crew come about hard to port, 180 degrees.🤪🚢
You might find in 4 years from now that some are out of money to complete it, if they even still exist by that time.
Even if a sane leader comes into power, nobody knows if they'll be replaced by a nutcase 4 years later.
Here’s what’s going to happen: some small concessions, then a declaration of great victory.
Write this down: he is going to fold by the end of next week.
Whiplash is a bitch to get over.
they are going to use robots and ai
they aren't going to hire union people
a new car company that isn't union is going crush the legacy auto makers
B. Plants overseas moving back to US and using robots can only add to US jobs as a plant overseas employs zero American workers. Basic math.
I’d move what manufacturing I already had in the US out of the US to avoid the retaliatory tariffs that will be brought by other countries against US produced goods
- Unless they also murder SSA and Medicare, forcing poor seniors to keep working. And revise child labour law - heeey now 🤔🤬
The intent is to collect bribes from interested parties and grant tariff exemptions to them.
Hence, of course no factories are going to be built: just more DJT coins will be "bought".
