    It is just Trump theatrics. He is actually trying to collect taxes from Americans through tariffs. It will takes years before the factories start operations.

        Pretty much. Nobody believes the tariffs will outlive Trump, and he’s very old. Why drop a huge capital expense to solve a problem that will go away?

        True, it was just a trick, (act) to collect more taxes from Americans. No wonder they put a TV show host to be a president.

      I already changed my tax withholdings. Not giving anything to the federal government. Only state.

        This is the most effective form of protest, that every single American should be doing.

        It also happens to be extremely efficient where it needs to be.
