> The main issue I see is that in 3.5 or possible 1.5 years, a new president ( or laws passed through congress ) will just vacate all Trump executive orders, tariffs in included. So that $100 million you invested in a new factory that is 3/4 built? Sorry, tariffs are gone and now you are out $100 mil. Why would any corp assume that risk?

If I were to be as generous as possible, I might say that's why Trump is being so chaotic with the tariffs? If you turn everyone against us and no one is willing to trade with us, it may force people's hand to build locally and then 4 years from now, there's still no appetite to resume our normal trade patterns.
