I can't take you seriously after that opening line. What, you think you snap your fingers and a manufacturing plant appears? There's site planning, site preparation, construction, industrial automation engineering, tooling, and trials runs to get through - and that's just the high-level tip of the iceberg tasks that needs to be done. Where are all the people to do that going to come from? You need people with experience, and those people are already in short supply. Moreover, where's all the CAPITAL needed to make this happen going to come from? Who's going to be willing to make that investment knowing that the political whims can change just as fast with the next administration as it did with this bozo administration? Stability matters when making 20 year plans and the Trump administration is the polar opposite of stability.
You can see the only thing we can jump in quick and start producing is the low-quality, low-cost cheap, throwaway crap. China has discovered it's difficult transforming yourself into a manufacturing powerhouse churning out that cheap crap. Now you want the US to do it? That's insane!
