“This is a GREAT time to move your COMPANY into the United States of America, like Apple, and so many others, in record numbers, are doing,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, promising “ZERO TARIFFS and “no environmental delays.”

So let’s consider an extreme situation, based on this exact premise.
Eventually those same companies migrating to the US will become isolated from the rest of the consumer world (EU and rest of Europe, British Commonwealth, China, Mexico and many more) due to tariffs being applied on the US, if not full trade ban in some cases, and be restricted to US and Russian markets… With underperforming products because the US doesn’t have the independent production capabilities it thinks it does. Ironically funny.
And that’s not even mentioning the internal disadvantages in this whole process, like white supremacy disguised as anti-DEI, having to constantly kiss the ring for a chance at tax exemptions (which are not guaranteed), and selling to a presumably poor consumer base with a few ultra-rich in the mix.
Make it make sense. And make me some popcorn and bring me my 3D glasses, because I sure as hell won’t feel sorry for any company falling for this “huge deal”. 🤷♂️
Don’t forget the lack of qualified workers in a country that just got rid of its department of education.
And any qualified workers you do have could randomly disappear to El Salvador at any moment.
Or, more likely, be smart enough to see the sign of the times and emigrate to a saner country.
I mean, it is a perfectly legitimate strategy for the proverbial MAGA motto itself. Everything is great if you understand nothing.
They will just move 1 factory to US but will still have factories outside US that manufacture cheaply for the rest of the world outside US. Some American will buy from overseas while travelling.
The rich and upper middle. Most people can’t afford international travel as is. Tariffs and job loss only going to make that worse.
