My son (who is 7 and knows already basic maths) can tell you that if a giant production like Apple moves to the US will cost at least 90% or even more to produce. This automatically will make them 110+% more expensive, which will destroy the demand. And who will pay?! The biggest market - USA (~43% as of 2024) Interesting who are the finance advisors of the guy in the white house?!? Good luck!

> who are the finance advisors of the guy in the white house

As far as we know there’s nobody with an education in this administration who is making any sensible argument why these random choices make sense / will produce.

Everyone in the administration who takes questions are political appointees / politicians and they to a person eventually ignore any specific questions and then tell you how great Trump is. The press conferences are creepy at times.

The little info that leaks out from insiders indicates Trump doesn’t take advice from even his own staff often and they are blindsided by tweets frequently.

Peter Navarro, an unhinged lunatic with a singular obsession with tariffs, is the person who has Trump's exclusive attention when it comes to trade policy.

Navarro is to tariffs as Ron Paul was to "abolishing the Fed"

What's math for the 90% more number?
10+9

He's 7.
