Trump thinks tariffs are magical things that can do anything except for what they actually can do.
Plenty of arm chair economists around that defend his ramblings.
He took my job!

Good luck teaching Texans how to bake a tray of Greggs sausage rolls President Fart.
Easy allow US workers to be paid less then Chinese with fewer restrictions. I somewhat doubt the US wants those jobs.

That’s not the right link.
No it isn’t. Copy error it seems. But the article isn’t paywalled is it?
No it isn’t.
Maybe edit the post to fix it?

It is paywalled.
we will do more work for less money. well by we I mean someone will. slavery is still legal if its from a prison so no issues.
Well, he’s already taking jobs from Russia, don’t doubt it if China has shit on him too. What,’you don’t mean that type of taking jobs?
Due to the loose labour laws, weak unions and low low wages in Germany and the UK plenty of jobs went from the US to those countries. Especially Britain is known for having taken many jobs in the manufacturing sector.
Germany has loose labor laws in comparison to the US? 😄 You should read up on that
Also, I’m pretty sure Germany has pretty strong unions. Hell, even the UK unions are probably 10x better than American ones.
You may want to add a /s.
Yeah, I can see that now
Due to the loose labour laws, weak unions and low low wages in Germany and the UK plenty of jobs went from the US to those countries.
You kid. Yet, fwiw, those jobs didn’t go to the US either, “despite” weak unions, low taxes and prevalent right-to-work BS. Wages in manufacturing are still high compared to Chinese wages. And in addition, China suddenly has a supply-chain advantage in a lot of niches because everyone went there.
China would be a valid target but he put Germany and UK first.
Also manufacturing coming back from China won’t be real jobs but highly automated factories with even less jobs than what China would loose.
The entire premise of “bringing back old jobs” be it from China or Europe might be what populist supporters want to hear but it is not what would solve their issues. The world needs new jobs.
Or - you know - we could just work less for the same standard of living and could all benefit from automation
Oh look, a senile narcissist spews yet another chunk in a near-endless stream of mental diarrhea!
Better make a “news” article about it! So informed!
