In a few years us Americans will see cheap American crap everywhere. And we have to pay much for it too.

Yea I agree. My concern is that much cheap American crap is made with private prison labor. This will be adding incentives towards imprisoning an even larger proportion of the population for a captive cheap labor force.

That would be insane

Not gonna happen. People are used to buying cheap. Producing locally makes that impossible. Can you imagine yourself sewing Nike shoes and T-shirts for $5 a day?

Encouraging local production under Trump’s policies may be a positive initiative, but many factories operate based on long-term strategies. Relocating operations overnight is simply not feasible. It’s likely that some companies are considering whether it’s more strategic to wait out the next three years until a potential change in leadership.
