The Trump administration’s tariff scheme appears less and less likely to bring manufacturing jobs back to U.S. shores.

Businesses across the country are crunching the numbers and realizing that, despite Donald Trump’s insistence, they can’t balance out his tariff hikes across the supply chain.

“Some manufacturers who had plans to open factories in the country say the new duties are only adding to the significant obstacles they already faced,” Bloomberg reported Friday.

That’s because the supply chain to produce those goods in the United States simply isn’t there, requiring companies to import raw materials and factory equipment—which Trump’s tariffs have made unaffordable—from abroad.

      You got to stop to call them incompetent. It’s on purpose. They’re traitors and are yearning for a crash.

        There are easier, safer way to crash the economy that are far less public

        I get the feeling those who insist there is a plan, just don’t want to admit the emperor has no clothes

      You mean any knowledge at all about anything or thinking ahead , which this administration hasn’t done at all, seeing as they and DOGE have just cut jobs everywhere and then these agencies have to hire people back because they’re understaffed and shit is falling apart.
