Promise to bring prices down day 1, make everything more expensive instead.

Elect a clown, get a circus.

Bodes well for the mid terms?

In theory tariffs don't bother me, if it brings MFG jobs back.  While some companies have "committed" to bringing jobs back, I'll believe it when I see it.  But having jobs back, on paper, would be nice.

We shall see.  Long term, paying a bit extra for a video game system to have jobs return...  I lean towards jobs.  Assuming any of this works.

PS5 assembly in America isn't happening; the infrastructure just doesn't exist for it, and by the time you built it, the current administration wouldn't even be in power any more.

Tariffs aren't going to make companies pack it up and move everything to the US, they'll just pass the cost on to consumers like Sony is doing here.
