Nobody is going to invest in a factory that's only profitable under this tariff regime because it's all based on Trump, who notoriously changes his mind or may die or get overridden after the midterms. What if Trump wakes up tomorrow and says "you know what? I had a man to man with Xi Xinpeng and now the trade war is off!"
I am not against repatriating manufacturing, but it's something that needs to be done with thought and strategy. This trade war is worse than Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal.

"Biden's"? That's comparing an 100%-Trump fiasco with an 80%-Trump fiasco.
If we're gonna blame Biden for not breaking the US/Taliban ceasefire agreement and drawing things out... Then we need to talk about how it was Trump who made the agreement abandoning the Afghan government, Trump who negotiated that aggressive May 2021 deadline to land at the beginning of the next term [0], and Trump who had to be stopped by his staff from triggering a far-worse instant "fuck y'all, we bail" just days after he lost the election in Nov 2020.
