the jobs won't.
Any new factories built in this country will be fully automated and will not provide significant employment for blue collar workers. A small number of high-skilled employees will manage an automated factory that would have employed thousands of workers back in the 50's and 60's.
The Obama - Biden program is vastly superior to Trump's plan. Re-building our national infrastructure would provide better roads, bridges, airports etc. while also providing good employment opportunities for non college educated workers.
The Trump tariffs are simply ludicrous. I believe Trump announced the tariffs simply to force foreign leaders to come to him on bended knee. And of course, he also sees an opportunity to skim a few billion dollars in graft, too.
