One of Trump's super powers is that no one believes anything he says. Had we, had his supporters, there is no chance he would've been elected. He has broadcast every dangerous and idiotic and corrupt idea he has had for years. But he is so full of shit that when he speaks the truth no one knows it.

But if manufacturers move all of their manufacturing back to the USA, they won't collect anything in tariffs. What is the goal of the tariffs? to collect revenue or move manufacturing back to the states. Sounds like the purpose is to collect tariffs.
