The new brand of conservatism that ignores basic economic principles is weird.


They arent conservatives. They pretended to be at one time, but they have fully embraced leftist economics.

The push to return mfg is really dumb, they dont realize it will require more.....IMMIGRATION.

The insatiable greed of these people astounds me. These tightfisted hucksters are committing economic treason against the very nation that made them great.

Profiteering foreign slavery just like their greedy forefathers did in the US, but sell at inflated prices to hard working Americans, I hope Trump squeezes their margins so tight that their balls hurt.

Totally progressive view of foreign trade which ignores the realities of doing business in the USA.

Maybe he should just takeover factories instead of commanding them from his throne to benefit his cronies.

The policies MAGA pushes are gifts to CEos and woke corporations

How yall dont know that is mind blowing.

One of my favorite skyscreams from the left is about Trump's Tariffs on OTHER countries.

Democrats tariff our own country with DEI, EPA and Unions then our companies leave the USA.

Why won't US workers work for the same (low) wages offshore workers do?



Because our cost of living is so much higher!

The left added to Trumps tariffs. Joe Biden expanded them

Tariffs have always been a Democrat gift to Mega Corporations and labor unions.

We can blame federal fiscal policy for that.

I’m very conservative, but you keep feeding that Chinese communist behemoth that is polluting the environment with impunity and denying the freedoms we take for granted, and one day when they have bought our country with the greed of a few Americans then you can enjoy your bowl of rice while kissing Xi’s arse.

You folks are listening to some horrible advice.

MAGAs economic plan is crony capitalism with policies that hinder innovation.

This! The tariff proponents think that heavy manufacturing will rush return to domestic production. But no one is going to invest billions of dollars with a 20-30 year payback, solely backed by the whims of presidential-enacted tariffs. In most cases, if you started today, you couldn't even built infrastructure within Trump's term.

Have you looked at our labor participation rate?

It just requires getting people off disability or welfare and back to work.

Stimuluses would have to be perpetual for it to work.

We also would have to have the workers, and white people are not returning to factories.

Pipe dream.

If we could mfg efficiently we would. You would need to continually provide PERMANENT corporate welfare for companies to even think about relocating.

Chinese EVs which are about 20k less per car than American cars have better technology and quality.

This happened because US protective policies let our companies profit without having to innovate.
