We are industrialized. We stopped industrializing 30 plus years ago. Maybe 40. I have no desire to work in a factory, neither do most. This isn't 1950. We have tech, software, Bitcoin mining, research, labs, science, hardware and chips we can be building. Not stamped and forged car parts, wiring and little pill viles. We will never compete with developing countries of that is the goal.
Personally, it isn't my goal.
I can appreciate your personal opinion on that. But it's a luxury. The tech industry forgets that the supply chain starts with ore and other raw resources.
We have an abundance of natural resources and that's exactly where the jobs will be generated. Filling in all the gaps of our supply chain from ore to production. A self-reliant economy is Trump's plan.
It works.
Time will tell if pessimism is warranted. Respectfully, I disagree.
We will never know, because he isn't going to implement massive general tarrifs at all. it's a lie at worst, a fake campaign promise to lure his base in who doesn't understand money and global trade at best.
Either way, it matters not

And for the record, we don't have free trade. We have tariffs against American goods and open borders for foreign goods.
Every other nation in the world protects its own industries with tariffs
yes, I said that earlier. we would all be better off if we did. I owe and am owed nothing from or to the person 500 miles away just because we happen to have the same country of birth.
