Probably.  But it would, on paper, be great if Apple, tsmc and nvidia do follow through.  Some big time money.  

Edit

Point being, I think making firm conclusions on tariffs is silly, on both sides.  Until we know how it plays out in full, everyone is speculating mostly on political bias.

I mean we can see it playing out in realtime right in front of us; Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo have all raised their prices in the US since the tariffs came into effect.

All that's being accomplished is that Americans are now paying more for things when they were already in a cost of living crisis.

Well there are two parts.  One, we need to see how much MFG comes to the US.  I do think many here are being a bit blind to the committed trillion dollar investments.  I get the idea that companies can back away from their commitment, but that is a bit naive.  Companies can't falsely make massive public announcements, that is a major security and exchange commission violations.

The second piece is a bigger question.  Paying more to have more jobs, is it worth it?

But hate blinds.  And to be fair the hate is more than justified.  

And if anyone here is being honest....  there is a bit of an absurd dismissive attitude to well over $1,000,000,000,000 in investments.  

And people are wrong about vague promises that companies can just back off whenever.  Security and exchange commission says hello.

Apple is a publicly traded company.  They can't flatly lie about a $500,000,000,000 investments.  Sure they can change plans, but isn't as simple as being are making it out to be.
