We might've already been here without Trump.
- h0l0cube 6y agoRegardless off any opinions about Trump, the imposition of tarrifs and his incendiary rhetoric seem to be causing manufacturing operations to hedge their bets. So maybe a some higher skill jobs have shifted to the US (not sure if that really helps Trumps voter base), but Tesla smartly started operations in China. Hard to speculate on the counterfactuals, but this increases redundancy, which can add new jobs, but the tarrifs can also rout other parts of the economy - and possibly impact Trump's own voter base more than others.
