You're right that he hasn’t explicitly said this, but the idea behind his policies like boosting domestic production and cutting regulations is to lower costs. Ensuring those benefits reach consumers would need further measures, which isn’t fully addressed yet.

You're right that prices rarely drop and corporate profits are a concern. That's why policies would need to include accountability measures to ensure savings benefit consumers and workers, not just CEOs. This is what Trump is working towards.

You're right, costs may be passed on at first, but the aim is to build a self-reliant economy. Over time, increased production and competition could help stabilize prices. Wage growth would need to be addressed alongside these efforts to ensure affordability.

You're right that building factories takes time and costs may be passed on. However, the focus is on creating long-term stability, reducing reliance on imports, and fostering job growth. While short-term costs are a concern, the aim is sustainable pricing and economic security.
