I believe the reason we lost those manufacturing jobs so many years ago was because the manufacturers found it much cheaper to produce the same goods in other countries that pay their workers pennies on the dollar and without paying union wages to their workers here in the states.
Exactly. If we paid American wages & benefits, an iPhone would cost about $50,000. Talk about inflation! There is a trade imbalance because Americans are rich and like to buy lots of stuff for as low prices as possible. The countries that sell us cheap stuff are not cheating us. They are fulfilling our needs. The only times the trade deficit has been less were when our economy was in recession and thus money was too tight for people to have disposable income.
First and foremost, let's not forget, Donald Trump/Elon Musk, started their DOGE-rogue reign by making many thousands of valuable Government workers unemployed - intimidated and marched out of their offices on the spot (or not even sure they had a job the next day; let alone the day after).
That alone has a massive ripple effect (you don't even need tariffs to cause havoc that way).
Next all so called "illegals/aliens/criminals" were targeted and sent back to their countries; just because they came from countries Trump doesn't like ("shit-hole countries"), according to Trump.
So who is going to run/ man/operate the businesses/ factories/establishments that are supposedly going to emerge as a result of the magical smoke & mirrors "MAGA" policy, if Trump keeps dismantling the US economy on an unprecedented level, with one shambolic tariff after another as some sort of bargaining tool.
Sooner or later, you're going to be scraping the bottom of the barrel, but Trumps raves on to political leaders all over the world, that he is "willing to do deals" on tariffs, as long as it is on his terms.

“This is Vicki Witte. After the violent banging on our bedroom window tonight at approximately 12:20 AM April 7, 2025. I am demanding money to help Becky and I to move to Wichita, Kansas where Becky has family and where she grew up. You made a big mistake here. I expect $500,000.‼️You can figure this out.

“This is Vicki Witte. We will see our lease through to the end, which will be when the lease expires 9/30/2025. We have a one year lease agreement which we all 4 agreed upon, Vicki Witte, Rebecca Booth, Chris Koball and Craig Koball. Full lease agreement 10/01/2024 - 9/30/2025. If you would like to file this in a court of law, you may. We will all 4 discuss this with a Judge in the King County Courts. I would like to remind you, the Washington State Landlord Tenant Law states the Landlord Owner must give 24 hour notice prior to entering the property or premise. This is "our" private property.

You guys need to get video of as many leaders of countries that Trump tariffed - saying we did NOT ask for a meeting with Trump. Showing Trump is lying 🤥
Only ever seen you on TV but you look much better since you stopped working for Trump. Something in your stature and energy that wasn't there before. Like you are now authentic and comfortable in your own skin
Kristi Noem is utterly disgusting.
Just because they made a mistake law or not the right thing to do is bring him back now!
Thanks to you and Micheal...great show!

Hi Don & Michael,

Weirdly were losing battles we already won?? Idiots
So sad, these men were not treated like humans, it’s disgusting & shameful
Is Don Lemon paying attention? Weird to watch.
You guys need to get video of as many leaders of countries that Trump tariffed - saying we did NOT ask for a meeting with Trump. Showing Trump is lying 🤥
Do we know they are still alive???
