    I’d say grifting as much money as possible. In this case, they’re trying to fund their tax cuts on the wealthy with these tariffs

      This is my thought. Transfer governmental tax revenue further away from corporations and the ultra wealthy to everyone else. This will be generational wealth loss as everyone not a millionaire will need to sell assets to continue to exist while the wealthy buy them up.

      The statement to bring manufacturing back to the states is a ploy to get people on board but where’s the planning to make that happen or incentives or runway to make a smooth transition.
