Trump’s idea of tariffs to encourage companies exporting
products to the U.S.
To set up manufacturing here to avoid the Trump tariffs’
financial stress
In the long run will work but in the near term some inflation
to cover the tariffs’ added costs
The problem facing Trump is that we are an instant gratification
society and our patience for longer term results has been for a long time lost
Sadly for our safety and national security we must induce
manufacturers who have the U.S. fled
Due to crippling anti-business regulations, higher wages, higher
taxes and the continuing war on fossil fuels
Any CEO who does not answer the siren call of lower costs and
less crippling regulation who does not relocate manufacturing is viewed by
shareholders driven by quarter to quarter results as a fool
Due to increased tariffs, the stock market has recently
taken a steep dive
Fears that most tariff costs will be passed on to consumers
to inflation increases revive
Trump’s agenda and Red control of Congress must walk a
narrow tightrope
Unless new investments by 2026 from overseas are building
new plants to manufacture reducing imports so inflation is on a downward slope
The goal of bringing back manufacturing becomes only a forlorn
hope
We will be in lame duck land and the Trump agenda will be at
the end of its rope
