Trump could make the United Staes a continent spanning Luxembourg or Switzerland focused on AI, services, data and higher margin manufacturing. Instead he’s trying to resuscitate boomer industries that require a) less manpower than ever before b) don’t employ that many people. His block of AI port automation to placate the drayage workers at these ports is another sign of his ridiculous economic policies. I predict the United States will begin to turn from a freer market as it was at the turn of the century to something more akin to Argentina and its economy during the 20th century. With demographics being what they are it will certainly accelerate this process.

Hi Werner, I disagree that advanced/higher value add manufacturing don't require protection, but anyway how would you go about AI, services, and data?

Hi Henry I'm on the trade protection side, but I'll check out what you wrote and get back to you
