Trump wants to MAGA and revive manufacturing without making policy or fiscal stimulus moves that will actually help that in real time. I suppose the theory is the tax and regulatory cuts will encourage companies to invest more capital and also why he wants Fed rate cuts. But without a focused and cohesive national plan, and with all the discouragement to higher ed and the best and brightest therein, it is all catch as catch can and there is nothing to stop corporations from taking their US tax savings and invest them in operations in other countries where there IS a plan and sane governance. Just like there is nothing stopping innovative genius from leaving America for more welcoming and fertile ground overseas.
