Why is it so hard for people to understand this? Obama said it would take a magic wand for manufacturing to come back. Guess what, Tariffs are that Magic Wand. Our country is obsessed with instant gratification&President Trump is thinking about the long term future of the USA 🚨TRUMP: KILL THE TARIFFS AND 3,000 FACTORIES STOP BUILDING TOMORROW President Trump laid it out plainly: thousands of plants and factories are going up across the United States right now because of the tariffs. Remove them, and the construction stops cold. “We have thousands of plants and factories being built in the United States. And somebody said, oh, about tariffs. Let me tell you, if I took tariffs off right now, every one of those plants would immediately stop construction. Because they’re only building them maybe for two reasons or three reasons, but the 99% is if they don’t build them, in order to sell their product into the United States, they’d have to pay a 50, 100, 150, 250, even 300% tariff. And once they start building and once they open up, they pay no tariffs.” The companies are choosing to build here instead of shipping finished goods in from overseas and getting hit with massive duties. Once the plants open, those tariffs disappear for them. That is the deal. That is why the steel is going up and the jobs are coming. “So all of that money, 22.2 trillion dollars, is coming in because these great companies from all over the world, they’d rather not build them. By the way, if you took the tariffs off, they would be so happy, they would stop construction immediately.” Trump pointed to more than 3,000 factories already under construction. “Laura, if we took the tariffs off, you know, every, right, we’re building over 3,000 factories right now. Every factory would come to an immediate halt. They would say, thank you, sir, very much, we’re going back, we’ll send you the product from Japan.” He called out the old system where other countries slapped tariffs on American goods for years while the United States sat back and took it. “And if you didn’t have tariffs, if we didn’t put tariffs on, we’ve been ripped off for years by other countries having tariffs and we didn’t have.” A reporter tried to restate the point. Trump answered: “Right now, let’s, you know, I watch these stupid people. We have 22.2 trillion dollars, the highest number ever for any country at any time, by maybe five times. If we took that off, everybody would stop building. You would have partially built factories all over the country, and they would just send in their product from China, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, everything. No, but when they build, they open, and they don’t have to pay any tariffs. So that’s why. And by the way, prices will come way down.” The choice is simple. Keep the tariffs and the factories keep rising. Drop them and the building stops, the products come from overseas again, and the advantage vanishes. Trump is not soft-pedaling it.
