Trump is boxed in by a few things here.

First and foremost, he can't pick up any more votes on this issue. Those in favor of abortion restrictions are already going to vote for him and so there is no upside to him with any answer he gives. The issue can only hurt him.

Second, when Dobbs was issued it was sold as a states rights issue. Send it back to the states !

Problem is, so far the states keep opting for broader rights than the anti-abortion contingent would like.

And so now a significant part of that contingent has shifted to advocating for a national restriction.

This issue is in some respects similar to Harris' struggle with immigration. It's almost impossible for her to pick up votes on it.

Or he puts it back to the voters. He kept his promise to overturn Roe vs Wade.

You are missing the point. I would LOVE to see those jobs come back here, and with all the cheap labor that Xiden has let in I am sure the sweatshops could be up and running before the end of football season. But there are numerous other sweatshop countries available to Tim Cook where he can make your iPhone. The Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia... there are even some right here in our own hemisphere that could do it. Why is China so ****ing special?

I may very well be missing your point but I know exactly what my point is.

What is special about China? My best guess is a large, cheap, semi-skilled labor force unlike anywhere else.

I would not like to see those jobs come back...at least not rapidly..maybe over a 30 year period but we'd have to either entice people to have more kids or have a large amount of immigration. If those jobs quickly came back, it would spark a wage war and lead to inflation like we've never seen.

The guys I know in manufacturing have tried to branch out from China...Thailand, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic....the output of all their non-China facilities combined is a fraction of what China can do. Also those jobs to Vietnam, etc would still have tariffs under Trump's plan. But they don't have the bodies to handle a fraction of it. They tell me the only China alternative they've had good success with is robotics/automation. It doesn't add any US jobs but it saves them freight. And as reliable as the Chinese labor for is, the robots never even take a bathroom break. Heck, you don't even need to turn the light on.

So in this magical scenario that Trump quickly runs all the jobs out of China, who could absorb them? India has the bodies, but they're buddies with Russia and a rich India is no better than a rich China. Sub-Saharan Africa could easily handle them if they were one united nation, but the current politics are so disjointed and corrupt it would never work.
China is a problem that will eventually take care of itself. Their one child policy has left them with an elderly population that is massively larger than the youth. In turn, this is sucking the younger generation into care giving and service work. In time the jobs in China will need to go elsewhere and we don't need a massive liberal sales tax on the good hard working American public for that to happen.

Nice clip. Love that you select the part that cuts out at “just so you understand”

Here’s the rest for you low hanging fruit media manipulation lovers. Trump has Ron wrecked daily.

Property rights would be gone completely, if not ruled unconstitutional. Imagine trying to identify every piece of assets you might own and put a dollar figure on it? Furthermore, if the income tax is based on a theory for asset discovery, why can't they tax the theory if there is a lose of value as well?

I wish the idiot left could understand the fact that the government only wants to take and never wants to give back. It is such a shame that we as an Americans can't see that

"I too completely disavow and dissociate myself from Bobby Kennedy Jr"

Why do liberals take politics so personally? Why can't they say "I disagree with his politics but I still consider him a friend"? With liberals if you like Trump you're also a bad person. You don't get more judgmental than that

I would say its already too late. They have destroyed America and what it was, now they're complaining about what they have created. Its right down Idiocracy. America use to be a very good place and I'm not talking 100 years ago either. Every day gets a little worse than the day before and they are creating it.

Luther shouldn't be complaining, he created this mess.
