CNBC hosts literally laugh at Lutnick as he suggests that t-shirts, sneakers, towels, and TVs will again be made in the US as a result of Trump's trade war

Yeah, the path to prosperity is through subsidizing higher education so Americans can do the highest paying jobs of the future. But instead we're going to invest in the robber barons and use tariffs to bring back manufacturing while deporting the people willing to do the work Americans don't want.

TRUMP ADMIN. is entirely made up of corrupt, ignorant, arrogant "know nothing/know it all" Dunning Kruger effected fools like Howard Lutnick. ALL Trump cronies & spokespeople MUST be MASSIVE LIARS- if Americans knew the truth of Putin/Trump/Musk's TREASON against us ALL, we'd already be revolting.

So they plan to make everything in America?! They can't even work their own fields without foreign workers coming in to do it. Their number one customer, Canada, won't buy anything from them. America has fallen!

It’s hard to believe that this guy ran Cantor Fitzgerald. Failing up since birth. These guys were pushing for free trade, demanding the offshoring that occurred in the 90s. Now, they want to exploit labor here again.

The stupidity of this administration is astounding.This country cannot make or grow everything in this country. Coffee, a billion dollar business cannot be grown here. Unfortunately, one item this country has produced is the full blown idiot that is president.

This Lunatic Lutnick is just a ridiculous clown if he thinks the US will EVER make t shirts, electronics, shoes or any basic textile product here again. America has expensive labor and THATS why these items are made where labor is far cheaper. No one wants to buy a $100 t-shirt.

Also car prices rising isn’t due to the manufacturing rising prices, but rather dealer mark ups being insane and consumers justifying the price hikes with demand not lowering. These MAGA morons can scream and cry, but they happily paid $90K for a truck that actually costed $60K

All that stuff would cost way, way more to make in the US. Labor costs, work safety/health rules, benefits, yes unions.... but really, companies are going to struggle to find people to work these jobs. It is already hard to find workers in many industries.

My dad spent over 30 years of his life working at the Ford Motor Company of Canada in Oakville, Ontario. He didn’t take anyone’s job, Ford brought those unionized jobs here because it was good business and they thrived there, along with other car plants in Canada.

During Trump 1.0, when he tried trade war w/ Mexico, an article about a Mexican lady came out. She was worried about losing her job making t-shirts. She was earning $60 a WEEK. Not an hour, or even a day. a WEEK. But yeah, sure, we'll get industries back in the U.S. to make here instead. Asshats.

They care about unions the same way they care about homeless people when the want to cut foreign aid: as a temporary prop. “Oh, so are you going to redirect that aid money to the homeless?” “No, the homeless are all lazy junkies making our streets unsafe”

OMG. Listened to this lunatic for a few seconds. And he's in charge of what?!?!? Another conspiracy moron LYING about everything. It's all they do. LIE. So stop giving them airtime till they start being FACTUAL. Just STOP.

Yesterday he was on saying Trump was not going to be pausing tariffs or backing down, with his stupid grinning and laughing. A few hours later Trump was pausing the auto tariffs 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂😂😂😂

Cuck supreme. Is he really that much of an idiot? Those days are long gone thanks to the companys that shifted their manufacturing plants overseas in order to maximize profits over people.

I watch CNBC regularly in the mornings and this particular anchor was so far up trumps ass pre-election she should have been wearing a red hat on the anchor desk. I was embarrassed for her then. I’m embarrassed for her now. It’s cool that she learned something but it’s a little late.

More fentanyl prescriptions were given from the white house medical center during the first Trump administration than were found coming in from Canada during that time. Trump and his cronies literally used more than they caught.

Why did they enter into such illogical business decisions? Because they hated American workers. They couldn't fully exploit the American workers anymore so they went where they did. And it's the same class of people doing this now that did that then. Why should we believe you?

Solution: unions need to organize internationally. Workers need to ignore political borders. Corps won’t move to a different country for lower wages if all workers in that industry get paid the same no matter where they live.

Come on my friends. Do the research... No not check Twitter X. Get your nose out of your phone long enough to RESEARCH! We are not stupid people, even if THEY think we are. Look up gaslighting. He/They think we are too lazy and ignorant to know better. Show them THEY ARE WRONG!!!

And their society is set up so that you can easily afford to live comfortably on $5 a day in many of the rural areas. And you can take high speed rail to work in the city. A city filled with green spaces & ergonomics & more.

I’m not sure if they’re just completely and totally unaware of how economics work. Or how deep we are in with the Chinese… In terms of manufacturing… Goods and services… etc. Or they simply don’t give a fuck. By the way Canada makes some very fine guitars.

Did anyone know that the coffee bean, a rare commodity grown only in certain climates, is NOT grown in mass quantity in the USA to fulfill all of the needs of the citizens? Other than Hawaii, where will the American consumer get their coffee beans made in their $8 lattes or half caff grandes?

Probably. The USA imports the most coffee of any country. The coffee bean needs tropical climate to grow and needs time to grow. Hawaii & Southern CA has some coffee crops, and Puerto Rico could produce some. But for the USA to be self sufficient, people will have to cut back to a cup a week .😂🤣

Lutnick is not qualified for his job. The UAW has more than 400,000 active members and more than 580,000 retired members in the United States, Canada & Puerto Rico. UAW.org Canada also had its own auto workers union which is now part of an even bigger union en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadia...

uaw.orgUAW | United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of AmericaThe labor union representing workers in auto, aircraft and agricultural implement manufacturing and other industries in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico.

What is wrong with Licknuts? He ran a successful wallstreet hedge fund and now gets to have his head spin from Trump’s indecision while attempting to mislead the public and USA trading partners. Licknuts should get out before it’s too late.

US Corporations offshored to cut costs and increase profits, esp where workers rights didn’t exist! The “Free Market” created this. This is what they’ll never admit - trump is a market capitalist, and he has no intention of allowing more unions or workers rights.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Fair, however I can counter that argument. Converse used to make all Chuck Taylors in the USA, then Nike bought them and moved manufacturing to China and Vietnam. Did the price of Chuck Taylors come down, stay the same or increase? Not being a dick, but using cost as the only factor is short-sighted

It’s trade agreements stupid. Unions had nothing to do with it. Corporations moved to manufacturing overseas because they could produce products for less and sell it back to us with a higher profit margin.

Lutnick was saved from a direct hit on his company by the first plane on 9/11 because he was taking his kid to school. Most of his employees died. One might think he escaped to do something better with his life than try to destroy our country’s economy.

I hope he doesn't hold his breath waiting for that to happen. even if they built a plant to make t-shirts, those t-shirts would have to be priced about 3 times what people are used to paying. That's why trump said'' I'll never build in the US because Americans want too much money to work''.

Union? Who said they anything about union? IF they were able to bring back these kinds of jobs, they'd probably push for the same sweat shop labor standards as what goes on in the countries that do it now. Any jobs created will have no protections like union jobs provide.

The first thing they bring up is blaming unions for automotive factories moving to Canada. Even though they have a union as well. There are people in this country that actually think they getting paid minimum wage in a factory is good enough for them since having a union would be bad.

It’s because our dollar is lower and we have the materials. Our unions are just as prominent - it’s the other reasons like above that make it less expensive than doing it in America. Which is why we have the inter- twining agreement. Benefits both countries. Trump is too stupid to grasp this.

Corporate greed and profit had nothing to do with it. It was the unions that harmed the workers. You know after they created the world’s first middle class. Now they want them gone so they can maximize profits. How about a unionized world? Where workers have rights everywhere?

Hmm so he wants sweatshops in America where there is no union and no workers rights, no environmental restrictions, pay absolute bare minimum wages Why does it sound like they want to bring slavery back ?

So they're going to drive manufacturing wages down to $1/hr? Connecting the dots... States allow child labour, "reparenting" of black kids on ADHD meds... This is disgusting.

Wanna bring back manufacturing? Price transportation reflecting the true costs, Instead of socializing the climate costs of punching holes through the aquifers that can't be repaired & Spewing greenhouse gases into the air, lowering the ph of the oceans

Ummm Canada is pretty union strong so that’s total bs. No one would set up manufacturing here because of ‘lack of unionization’. It’s because our dollar is lower and we produce materials needed to make cars.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that this guy is a fucking schmuck. At least that coked out alcoholic Larry Kudlow knew to keep his yap shut and ride it out. Even the gonifs at CNBC weren’t buying his bullshit. It won’t be much longer, folks.

Does he have any idea what it takes to build a factory? Or how long? Or how to retrain all those laid off accountants and scientists to work in the towel factory? These people have “ plans” like 8 year olds building a rocket to the moon.

You know why labor is cheaper everywhere else? Because their governments cover Healthcare and control rents. You don't have to pay as much there because they can survive there. You also bringing back child labor?

cant you sue this ass for lying? hes not some random piece of shit on twitter hes the fucking commerce secretary, people and businesses depend on what he says to be truth so they can operate their businesses, if hes lying they can sue the fuck out of him for losses incurred if not but for his BS

Remember, anyone this admin puts on TV is there for normalizing fascist threats or sowing cognitive dissonance. Just like Trump himself. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I thought we lost manufacturing to countries that force children to work for nothing & that was better for stocks. I guess it was because China did tariffs & USA didn't. I'm sure learning a lot & getting smarter with this new "conservative" bowel movement.
