This is the thing that makes no sense. All the thinking stops at bring jobs back to the US.

Okay, raw material issues aside, what are these jobs?

They are jobs that left because it was so cheap to do it overseas that it still makes financial sense to ship the product here after it’s made.

NOONE IN THE US IS DOING THAT JOB FOR THAT MONEY HERE.

My Trump voting uncle had nothing to say when he was talking about how all the jobs were going to come back to the USA and I asked him if he wants him or any of his kids picking peaches in California for $7.50 an hour. Who exactly does he think will do these jobs when all the immigrants who are trying to establish themselves here are gone? He did not surrender the point being a good MAGAt but you can tell he had not thought about it in the slightest.
