“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.”

Is this man functioning at full capacity? It took over a year to build a chain grocery store in a nearby town and that’s mostly stuff on shelves, not a production line set-up. Time was spent up front as well, in planning and logistics, that I wasn’t able to see, such that the total time to build a chain grocery store took well over a year, maybe two or even three.
Meanwhile, Trump expects “now” for manufacturing.
Never mind the fact that Americans won’t be able to buy products of that manufacturing due to high costs. What was the estimate, that iPhones manufactured here would cost $2k+? Something like that.
$2300, and that assumes that they can even get the materials.
China has silently stopped shipping a lot of metals used in high tech applications that it controls 90% of the stock of. The 10%? Our previous trade partners Canada and Australia, who aren’t big fans right now.
Not so silently, if you pay attention. There were brief headlines on the No selling to our defense contractors some time ago.
I’m in Trump time dilation so it’s hard to guesstimate when I read that one.
Unfortunately, for him this is full capacity, yes.
