Anyone who invests in the states at the moment is ether scamming or stupid.

It's the third thing. So rich they can buy whole industries on sale and control the relevant regulatory bodies in order to lean on international competitors.

Ha, too bad after this term the us will have no place in the international market. I don't think people in the us really understand how much their nation's power was based off of trade and relations.

So? We're making AMERICA FIRST because we're ALSO Supplementing these Tariffs with DOMESTIC FUNDING and INVESTING in American Business while SIMULTANEOUSLY being STRONG in our Desires so companies KNOW that their Investing in US is SAFE!

Tariffs WITHOUT Domestic Investing and Funding to Bolster Domestic Manufacturing is just plain STUPID and DUMB and HORRIBLE BUSINESS SENSE!
