With our expertise a standardized Nuclear plant system would greatly help cost. You don’t want 55 different plants with original design.

I see exactly the opposite.
What I see—that many don't want to—is that for all Trump's business experience he has strange blindspots and these tariffs are one of them.
It's not difficult to understand what tariffs do (if you're willing to).
And it's not reasonable to think that just because he's Trump, his tariffs will somehow be magically different.
It's just magical thinking.
If the only candidate in 2016 advocating for tariffs had been Bernie Sanders instead of both Sanders and Trump advocating for them, every single one of you would be crapping on them. None of you would be thinking they were some kind of 16D chess move, you'd the thinking (and saying) that they were left wing moonbattery.
But guess what? Tariffs work the same way and have the same results whether Sanders passes them or Trump. It's not like if Sanders had passed them the results would be different.
I think Trump loves them simply because he gets to "negotiate" and prove he has mastered the "art of the deal." And they don't involve anyone but him.

That seems impossible to me. On a spectrum of great business man and the exact opposite, you didn't land anywhere in the middle for a guy who has literally dominated business for 50 years? Not even the guy who literally everyone that deals with respects the absolute frick out of his deal making acumen?
Am I speaking to Warren Buffet right now, or just some shmuck who has no fricking idea?
Sorry for the cursing. The AWS outage has fricked my day up so I'm less patient with stupidity than usual.

The economy boomed. Trump is given credit for his first term economic policies even by leftists such as Matthew Yglesias, who thinks Trump is a one-trick pony whose trick happened to be just right at that particular time. I don’t know what to tell you, Roger. If you don’t accept that then you officially have TDS.

On lots of debt, and even then the economy was dragging in 2019.
Its estimated the tariffs slowed growth, not hastened it. Trumps 800k per washing machine factory job isnt what I call economic growth.

I assume it goes without saying, but you don't have the credibility to say this without some factual backing. And I don't mean your brand of "if you can't see it I can't help you" proof. I mean the assumption is you're making shite up without sources until you can prove you're not someone who will say anything to appear "correct."

Ive posted the links here probably a dozen times and they get downvoted, and people call me names. I dont know if its stupidity, or cult behavior.
Its worthless to do. You folks will believe what you chooser to believe.
Washing machine jobs
Tariffs cost 1.4B per month
I hae a lot more links that y'all will not read, or you will dismiss because it wasnt one of your influencers, if you like.

A new study finds the Trump administration’s trade policies and tariffs reduced U.S. income at a rate of $1.4 billion per month by November.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Princeton and Columbia conservatively estimate that U.S. tariffs cost American consumers at least $6.9 billion last year.
“Tariffs were almost completely passed through into U.S. domestic prices, so that the entire incidence of the tariffs fell on domestic consumers,” the paper finds.

I've seen your reposting of that one washing machine article. I can't imagine you consider that the root cause of all tariff evils even though it's apparently your silver bullet, as you've admitted.

No, its the normal drag on economy tariffs cost, and did cost during this period.
We subsidize these new jobs, leaning on the working class, these tariffs are simply wage/wealth redistribution.

We're talking about the difference between objective failure of an agenda vs mistakes along the way. Some of us are speaking big picture, and you prefer to talk about washing machines.

Yes, the tariffs created jobs, it also lost more than it created.

Tariffs "work" if you want to protect certain companies or industries, but they come at a loss to someone else.
