But let's think about this.
You can't have the manufacturing jobs until what?
Until the plants get built.
We got $19 trillion.
Let me say that one more time.
$19 trillion of investment promised.
to come into this country.
Now, construction is gonna boom in the short run, but we're not gonna see the manufacturing jobs until that capacity gets built.
So it'll be six months, nine months, 12 months, 18 months.
But what we're doing is setting the stage for the construction of a beautiful addition to our manufacturing base.
And by the way, this is how smart
not me, but we are as an administration, it's like when we're cutting these trade deals and Japan's offering to invest here in America, that money, you know how we're gonna use that money?
That money is specifically targeted at vulnerabilities in our supply chain.

Courts around America are needlessly politicized, making partisan decisions.

h.w bush rhino who was a free trader the four people who dissented that was a beautiful descent led by a judge named toronto and it's a road map as i've written about for the supreme court to deal with the key issues whether we have a national emergency whether tariffs can be used for the regulation of imports
whether we're in a permanent situation with the terrorists, which we clearly are not.
So the backup plan is the Supreme Court basically ruling in our favor.
