O/T:- Trump Presidency 2.0 [hic sunt dracones]

If you really wanted manufacturing back in the US, surely you'd apply tariffs strategically - avoid tariffing stuff you need to build or supply factories, apply tariffs only on goods you intend to make in the US, and absolutely you would not be changing the rates and rules. You'd announce a multi-year plan to phase them in, probably. Not change them day by day, week by week. If you want to encourage investment, changing the investment environment unpredictably is one of the worst things you can do. Big investors need to make long term plans. It takes years to build a factory and usually years to see a return from it. So you need years + years of stability.
