'Build your own manufacturing': Trump-voting business owner stung by tariffs savaged after asking for ways to keep company afloat
Trump thinks factories are magic. They aren't things you can just conjure out of the ether by sacrificing a pile of cash - it takes hard work, thinking, and negotiation.
Things that Trump is incapable of.
Also, if you're capable of investing in manufacturing, you're no longer a small business.
That's not true. You get 10 injection presses and a few molds. Yeah you're out a few million but nobody would argue that your facility isn't small given you probably only really need 20-30 employees at that point. Or you hire a few welders as a job shop for welded pieces. Thats manufacturing still.
"A few million" is not a small business.
According to census unless their revenues are as high as their capital expenses then yes they are

Trump has OCD, around tariffs and germs.
