You mean the great MBAs didn't read the Admin's own policy papers going into a new Admin?

When they get lucky: "I'm a genius with my brilliant calls"
When they get hosed: "Nobody could have seen this coming"

Either way, give them a big fat bonus and/or bail them out with taxpayer money.

If you really want to piss off a Free Trader, mention the anemic GDP growth rate of the US under Free Trade. They'll then confidently state that they saw the alternative future in their crystal ball without free trade and it was worse, or some ex rectum unverifiable proclaimation.

Sounds like Trump has great plan. Fixing is not trivial for the given magnitude caused by all the previous clowns.

Yes, but let's take down the CCP that we offshored all our manufacturing to first, ok? Break their economy first.

Well Apple did say that it was gonna invest $500 billion in the US over the next 4 years. At that $17 million per employee figure you calculated, it comes up to about 29k jobs. Of course, that $500 billion figure is also over ten times the market cap of GM (GM employs about 92k people in the US), so the job growth could be quite a bit. Then you gotta factor in the multiplier effect as those newly hired people spend their paychecks into the US economy.

An unintended consequence or an intended consequence? Trump-o-nomics bringing down the fake premium label industry? Bimbo's are all gonna be pissed that their premium labels are all made in China.
