the president’s supporters frequently laud his seeming inconsistency as a brilliant negotiating tactic designed to achieve some higher Hegelian synthesis. Perhaps “prosperity for our time” is therefore just around the corner.


But my money is on a tariff-driven stronger dollar together with higher costs, retaliatory tariffs, and a withering of the multilateral trading system(which is premised on the incentive for everyone to buy the best products at lowest cost—irrespective of where they come from)—which is, unfortunately, the worst possible combination for U.S. business.

With a bunch of fifth graders running the country, there’s no clear path for the economy to improve.

Economic “policies” are as follows:

1 deregulation
2 fire government employees
3 threaten to impose tariffs/Create uncertainty
4 close the border
5 lower taxes for the wealthy / trickle down
6 no more fentanyl

Seriously that’s it.

Other than Don saying it’s gonna happen, what do you see that indicates big upcoming FDI?

I’m seeing otherwise.

Do u think Europeans are gonna invest in this uncertainty? Do u know how much FDI comes from Europe annually?

I know of two manufacturing facilities that were going to be built in SC and were just cancelled. I was told because of trumps policies. I was surprised so I asked specifically what caused the two manufacturers to cancel construction.

In both casss the mfrs make intermediates, they buy inputs from the US and other countries, they manufacture a product, then they ship the product overseas where in one case it’s manufactured into another product and sold globally. In this case tariffs will hit these materials three times, entering US, entering the next country and then entering the third country.

So this manufacturer says I don’t benefit from trumps deregulation but three rounds of international tariffs crush my business model so I won’t build the factory I was planning to build.

Getting tech schools rolling should have been a priority a few decades back. That's currently the weak link.
