Making iPhones in America? What about mattresses? Keychains?
Yeah... it's impossible for most small businesses to manufacture in the US. And amid the trade war with China, business owners are struggling to plan for the future of their companies.

Follow the money and see where it goes. Elon Musk was just awarded a $5.9 billion taxpayer-funded SpaceX contract by Trump—the largest in a new package of space deals. Trump ensured Musk got the money, fully aware he’s facing “steep personal cost.”

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
