    or maybe you’re just dense and dont see we’re on the same page? funny how you miss that option in your eagerness to try and prove something to someone. This was exactly my point. sorry you missed it.

    What exactly do you think I need to change my mind about?

    • that trump is a fascist? we agree.
    • that companies will bend knee in order to avoid tariffs? on that we agree again!
    • that companies absolutely would bring manufacturing back to the US due to tariffs? again, you seem to be missing the very clear evidence they would to the tune of 600 billion.

    so what exactly do you want me to change my mind on? that jobs may not come back because trump is a fascist twat? okay here we are, never said that wasnt a possibility.

      Reminder: Your point was “they will swith to 4x more expensive domestic productions to avoid 5x more expensive tariffs”

        and they would. thats literally what the 600 billion is for silly. now whether trump actually follows through and makes sure they do is a separate and is more related to trump than the behavior of these companies. Given the choice between ‘bring manufacturing back’ or ‘become entirely blocked the within the us market’ they’ll pick the former. every. time.

        so what evidence am I suppose to consider that would change my mind or contradicts my original post? or even more related to you: contradicts your position in any way? because thats what this is about. you want to be told you are correct.

        so sure, you’re absolutely correct that trump will not require them to follow through. but that doesnt change the facts that my original position is also correct. Funny how two things can be correct at the same time.
