Summary
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick admitted on CBS’s Face the Nation that US workers won’t reclaim traditional manufacturing jobs under Trump’s tariff-heavy strategy.
While promising “trillions” in new investment, he confirmed that new factories would be automated. Lutnick touted support roles like mechanics and HVAC technicians instead.
Critics cite the tariff policy inconsistency and rising consumer costs.
Market reactions have been severe, with steep losses and fears of trade wars as China and others prepare retaliatory tariffs.
Because they are idiots, there is no mistery, the mediocres are running the USA
The only question I’m wondering about:
Is Trump just an idiot or Putin’s useful idiot? How much of this is sheer stupidity and how much is deliberate chaos controlled by a foreign entity?
The fact that Trump put Tariffs on penguins but not Russians feels telling.
… and it goes to show all the pATriOtISm these assholes and their followers actually hold
I wish it was the mediocre, its being run by the willfully ignorant.
right you are… calling them mediocre is cutting them slack
