has anyone written on how long it would actually take for companies to move their manufacturing to the US?

I’m trying to better understand what Trump’s dream scenario looks like

This seems like a pretty compelling argument https://bsky.app/profile/chrismurphyct.bsky.social/post/3lluxkmx7wc2m

Yeah it’s interesting, the framing is a bit dramatic but the idea of “Tariffs are a tool to force companies and countries to negotiate with Trump” Makes sense to me. But there is also this other angle which seems to be really focused on empowering the American economy - I have a hard time believing that he doesn’t actually believe these tariffs are good for America. He’s more populist than power-hungry IMO, so he wouldn’t tank the economy to get power

Interesting, based on him and all his close advisors I get the opposite read. What about his moves make you think he’s not all about power and personal gain above all?

He definitely wants power but I think even he knows he can’t have power if the economy sucks, he loses all credibility and no one will want to associate with him So the idea of tanking the economy for longer term political gain is confusing to me
