Tarrifs put goods that we all prefer to buy (due to their quality), out of reach for so many people by increasing the costs. Tarrifs hit us harder in this country than they hit the other nations being targeted.
How we bring industry back to this country, be it high tech or not, starts in the schools. The DOE doesn’t need to be cut by 50%, it needs to be eliminated! Start hiring teachers who can meet set standards and pay them accordingly. Stop overpaying principals and school administrators who fill the school parking lots with their fancy cars while good teachers are barely getting by on food stamps.
Get back to hard subjects like reading, writing and math. Enough of the woke and racial indoctrination classes, all taught by social engineers and rank perverts, who have their own children in private education. Hypocrisy 101-2.0!
Manufacturing cannot come back to the USA until we get rid of inflation which means going back to a constitutional money system backed by gold and silver which is controlled by the US Treasury and NOT by a bunch of banking cartels. If we bought our manufacturing back to the USA to make, let’s say to make jeans and t-shirts you’d be paying over $100 for a pair of jeans and $50 for a t-shirt. That’s because you would be paying at least $20.00+ and hour for someone to make them here. Right now they are paying someone off shore probably $1 per hour.
You're right on the prices being high for USA made goods, but that just shows the true cost of products due to the banker-depreciated "federal reserve" notes. As long as wages increased to the same extent, I wouldn't have a problem with that level of inflation. Agree on the need to get rid of the Banker class and return to sound money. Depriving the laborer of his just wages and oppressing the poor are 2 of the 4 sins that cry to heaven for vengeance.
Keep in mind though that as the wages increase the price of the goods will increase along with it which is inflationary. Remember a few years ago when California and Oregon were pushing for $20.00 per hour wages for people flipping hamburgers at McDonald’s and other fast food restaurants to keep up with inflation? The prices for a McDonald’s meal became astronomical. Inflation needs to be stopped dead in its tracks and the only way to do that is to go back to a constitutional money system backed by gold and silver. This way our politicians can only print as much money as the gold and silver reserves we have in our vaults. Printing worthless fiat currency is the root cause of inflation.
And now CA has imposed the $20/hr for most fast food places and it is killing jobs. Katy Grimes is one of the better CA reporters, actually does the job most journalist have no clue how to do anymore.

Shocking 16,000 Jobs Lost Due to California’s $20 Fast Food Wage Hike – California Globe
It was more than lower priced foreign labor that drove manufacturing out. There were lots of regulations that made USA manufacturing unfeasible. The USA needs to make itself manufacturing friendly for manufacturing to return, and even then it will take a long time for that to happen.
As it appears to me, Trump is using tariffs as a bargaining tool to improve trade conditions with countries that have used tariffs and other harmful things against the USA. Time will tell if I'm right and if Trump is successful with his approach.
Tariffs are currently a suitable weapon against the globalists. In particular, the tariffs serve Trump to create the best conditions for negotiations in completely different areas. All considerations from the perspective of classical economics are currently (as is usually the case) completely unsuitable for an accurate analysis.
TRUMP IS 5 STEPS AHEAD OF PEOPLE ALREADY - THE MAN HAD 4 YEARS TO PREPARE & HE WILL USE TARIFFS TO NEGOTIATE DEALS GOOD FOR AMERICA & NO LONGER THAT SCREW US ALL
Greg, some people aren’t aware that for the first 124 years of our nation’s history we generated all of our income from tariffs. We had 1- no income tax, 2- no federal reserve, 3- no IRS and no FIAT money system. Only Gold and Silver currency with virtually zero inflation over that time period.
IMO, we should eliminate all three above and return to the tariff based system. This encourages consumers to buy American and when no American option is available, it encourages the growth of American manufacturing.
I realize that this will never happen, just saying, it should.
That's before China was industrialized, America was deindustrialized and, now, China is furthering the destruction of US manufacturing by dumping "goods" at cheap prices.
Gregory claims he is for we the people and has condemned the Private central banking system, but he now pivots against anything Trump does that is NOT LIKED BY PRIVATE CENTRAL BANKERS because it is a threat to thier control. Tariffs is one example. Tariffs are paid by existing dollars and do not require that new money that is only produced by the Trillionaire families that run the global banking system be borrowed into existence with interest attached. That need to borrow helps keep the Central bankers in total control and the rest of us in debt. Gregory actually LIKES the existing system despite what he claims and he knows how to work it to his advantage and become RICH. What about the rest of us who you claim are your lions but are being sheered like sheep? The world is not the same place as it was in 1935 nor is it the same when Reagan was in office. Regan was SHOT and almost killed to keep him in line with the Banking masters. Trump who was also shot and nearly killed but is not intimidated by them. Tariffs, the crypto block chain, Gold backed currency, income tax cuts and elimination, smaller Government, and the end of endless wars are all methods of freeing the people from the chains of the Private Central Banking system. Most of us , unlike Gregory, do not get RICH playing in a system that is a total fraud because the basic component of that system that is the currency or so called Dollar is fake. For many years since the Federal Reserve Note was promoted to World Reserve Currency other countries have stolen the VALUE of US productivity by imposing Tariffs on the USA while the USA has had to refrain by orders of the Banking masters from putting tariffs on other countries. A way for the Private Central Bankers to spread out the wealth across the globe, and steal our factories, our jobs and our future prosperity. That has hurt the average American. This part of the global banking scam must be ended and the USA must now in turn impose Tariffs on other countries whose central banks are controlled by the same people. The USA can defeat any other country in a tariff war. And we are now in a war against the Private Central Bankers that are bent on destruction of the middle class in the USA and want to impose a high tech form of feudalism in its place. So NO Gregory I do not agree with you and I am starting to not even like you as a person either because, in my opinion, you are not being totally honest. You are a globalist like the Banking Families that operate the Fraud.
I’m listening to the audiobook version of Trump‘s “Art of the deal“. I couldn’t possibly bother to read it. Trump made a reference to both presidents Carter and Reagan. With respect to Carter, whose funeral Trump recently attended, he said Carter, who had “nothing going for him at least had the balls to go for the biggest job in the country, despite being completely unqualified for it.” About Reagan, Trump said “you look at Reagan and you see such a smooth, easy-going communication style; everyone thought he was so great. But now, looking back after a few years, you begin to wonder: ‘was he really all that great? Was he really that on the ball? ‘“ Since Trump knows everything and is the greatest president ever, I don’t think he’d feel the need to watch anything Reagan would have to say. After all, Trump recently just said he was a better president than even Washington!
Hey Greg just a question what woukd you say yo someone who says this that Reagan says is b.s. and nafta destroyed our industry...and what are your thought on this now compared to nafta in the past..I don't think our already destroyed economy will survive but..sigh
Yes I am not a fan of tariffs....and not a huge believer in DJT's ability (he has been more lucky than good and his follow-through is hit or miss). In any event, I can see these actions as a strategy to get the ROW to play ball with the US. The thing is we remain the least ugliest Troll and the ROW (including China) are in deep shit. They can't afford a tariff war - while the US can manage probably a month or two longer. Thus we are watching an active game of "chicken". It will either work or blow up "hugely".
If tariffs are so bad… Why do most of our trade partners inflict them on us?
Make this real simple , if your country has tariffs on our country, we just match the tariffs … Reciprocal.
Fully agree!
Irregardless, Trump needs to bring manufacturing back to the USA.
Tariffs will not do that.
They encourage it

You mean Screwels not Schools... public schooling is tantamount to child abuse.
It’s a cult Greg. Their guru can’t do bad stuff. Freaky times!

How can that happen when our 535 "representatives" gutted our manufacturing base and CONTINUE to do so?
Just as they changed laws and policies to gut our manufacturing, they can reverse those stupid laws and policies.
Regardless! Not Irregardless!
Hahaha! I knew that would trigger someone! 🤣🤣🤣
Good bait, I hope?

Relax Greg! Trump has it all under control. Snuggle up tight and go to sleep.
Sure. I know you are kidding.... at least I hope you are. (I will give you the benefit of the doubt).

I realize that this will never happen, just saying, it should.
If that did happen, I agree that it won't, it would be pointless without a return to CONSTITUTIONAL money
Agreed 100%. Keep stacking
Video looks kinda fake. Here is a link to the original video from Reagan Library - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t5QK03KXPc
Right ✅ 100%
In the end none of this matters. We’ll be in WWIII by the end of the year. Screw your portfolio, get your spiritual house in order.
He will come like a thief in the night. Will you be ready?
Population reduction forthcoming - war, disease, pestilence; it's all been planned and being implemented.
I am the only person in my family who thinks that Trump will go down in the history books as.... Hoover.
That's before China was industrialized, America was deindustrialized and, now, China is furthering the destruction of US manufacturing by dumping "goods" at cheap prices.
So it no longer matters huh..... People always thing "its different this time." and they are always wrong.
Of course it matters and I, personally, don't like it because I'm concerned about my own wallet and stock portfolio .
What's the alternative?
Per Peter Schiff, we should be happy to export inflation and let the rest of the world export deflation into the US.
In other words, we should be happy to print the money, send it to other countries and get tangible goods that we no longer make here.
Is that the solution?
Exactly. We r being set up.
Just like J6!
Didn't work out so good for the Patriots, 4yrs. In jail for trespassing.
That's American Justice.

This is a presentation by Tony Schwartz the guy that wrote Art of the Deal.
Thank you! Listening to it now.
Michael Cohen book, Disloyal gives great insight on Donald as well.
Thanks Dave!
Years from now we'll look back and wish Trump were half the President Reagan was.
But, lets remember that it is all semantics as all presidents are nobodies and listen to people above them as far as what to do.
You’re right! And most of them should have remained real nobodies and done the world a favour. .
Investigate Bohemian Grove, and how many times Reagan went there.
