Trump urges firms to move to US 'now' to avoid tariffs
“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.”
Sure, just let me pick up a whole production plant and import a few thousand workers already trained on my processes. Should be able to get that done by this weekend.
Also all the material I need I need to build that production plant is under a 104% tariff. NBD.
And if everyone is moving to the USA at the same time, the existing supply lines get overburdened immediately, causing prices of all raw materials to explode until new supply can be developed.
But at least we can be 100% certain those tariffs will still be in place in a few years when the factories are finished.
Not to mention those trained people mentioned above attempting to move here have to fight deportation for checks notes, coming here on a work visa, having a tattoo, speaking your mind, not being white. Hard to say really.
And ICE will pick up those immigrants by Monday, never to be seen again.
Just build all the factories in El Salvador, then when they have to ship all the Americans back they can each bring a car or something with them to avoid the tariffs.
By the weekend? You need more than 24 hours for such a simple and straightforward task? Come on bruh? /s
Gotta be "hardcore"!
It is just Trump theatrics. He is actually trying to collect taxes from Americans through tariffs. It will takes years before the factories start operations.
It would* take years. The factories aren't going to start operations at all.
Pretty much. Nobody believes the tariffs will outlive Trump, and he's very old. Why drop a huge capital expense to solve a problem that will go away?
a problem that will go away
oh, god - I now have anticipatory... stirrings. thanks, obama.
Unless USA does become a hereditary monarchy and the whole circus continues with Queen Ivanka.
Trump wants her to be his queen
True, it was just a trick, (act) to collect more taxes from Americans. No wonder they put a TV show host to be a president.
It won't be built either
I think he actually believes this will move manufacturing to the US. He is a moron afterall.
I already changed my tax withholdings. Not giving anything to the federal government. Only state.
This is the most effective form of protest, that every single American should be doing.
It also happens to be extremely efficient where it needs to be.
And build a new facility and create new supply routes. So much simpler!
Actually you had 3 hours to do it before he changed his mind.
He'll change it again later today.
Hope he doesn't change his mind and/or get overruled by then. Stable and predictable global markets are sooooo boring.
Edit: oh.. it took 5 hours since I originally commented.
