I mean very soon tariffs on Mexico will happen not that factories will be built.![]()
That's a fair take.
However, I don't know how sustainable tariffing Mexico will be.
I spend a good amount of time in both Texas and California these days, and like many American states bordering Mexico, we get a lot of produce from down south. There are certain products Americans can do without, but affordable groceries isn't one of them.
If Trump's tariffs against Mexico are poorly calibrated (and there's a reasonable chance they will be given his track record), the GOP will get slaughtered during next year's midterm elections, which will make Trump significantly more vulnerable to impeachment.
Trump is a fool destroying US economy. So, I dont expect he will succeed on anything. But he will not stop trying since this is his last term and he thinks he is invincible after surviving the assasination.
TBF, Trump's desire to reinvigorate American manufacturing makes a lot of sense.
Problem is that not only is the US ~20 years late, but the man at the helm, Donald J. Trump, is too disorganized, impatient and unpopular to make it happen.
