If he succeeds in bringing back the manufacturing base and deports all of the illegal immigrants will he be a net positive for the ADOS/FBA community in the long run despite his anti Black racist behavior?
Trump is doing this tariff thing because he thinks it will bring a manufacturing base back to America. If he is correct will that benefit FBA men?

No, because companies will use automation, and the workers they use will most likely be Latinos. For instance, most of the McDonalds workers I see now are Mexican. They’re getting all those low skill jobs.

I don't see how bringing back a bunch of $5/hr jobs would be a net positive for the black community

He is not trying to re-industrialize America via tariffs. He is flat out lying to the people because we’re stupid collectively
Manufacturing jobs are not coming back to America and if they did then the cost of the product would be so high that manufacturers would have to leave America in order to stay in business.

All politicians lie. Doesn't matter the party. Every one of them. Because they are all bought out by the Federal Reserve. They all are committed to keeping the slavery system.

Do y'all know how long it would take to build the infrastructure needed to re-establish the manufacturing industry in the US? Unless the USG is gonna subsidize or pay companies back for this, they’re not doing that shyt
Right-wing populism is rooted in false nostalgia. Things used to be better, even if they weren't.
We can't have it both ways. If a TV set costs $1500 instead of $500, there will be fewer TVs sold. Jobs that are supported by those sales will be lost, leaving even less money to buy those overpriced TVs.
The entire US economy relies on consumer spending. Home appliances, plane tickets, electronics, clothing etc, are all relatively much cheaper while rent/mortgages, health insurance, childcare are all relatively astronomically more expensive.
Also, manufacturing jobs paid well because they were highly unionized, and post WW2 almost the entire developed world was in ruin and the US had no competition for manufactured goods. And not only did they pay well, they could be obtained with a HS diploma, and due to the high demand, job openings were much more plentiful. The world just simply does not work like this anymore though. The competition for manufactured goods is much more fierce, and the US cost of living cannot compete with other countries without major reforms and long term planning.
It is basic math, you cannot bring back manufacturing jobs, while paying American salaries, when we have at least three generations that are accustomed to cheap stuff made in Asia. On top of that, cost of living is high, wages are stagnant, there are no unions to guarantee job security, and we are an an age were automation and AI can help companies save money (and they will always choose this option first).
We are falling behind rapidly while China has caught up and in some cases surpassed us.

How many black men have moved to the mid west or Cali to sign up for the farm jobs?
That's immediately available, companies aren't investing billions in factories that won't be ready til Trump is out of office to avoid tariffs that might be removed next week

It would make more sense to establish manufacturing here first. He’s doing things backwards.
FBA is the modern day trick bag for do nothing brothers. Protesting and putting in work is not for everybody so it became a marketing trick to have do nothing brothers do nothing and feel like radical revolutionaries as a result. Nothing good will come of this administration, and it is an educational failing to believe otherwise.

There’s absolutely zero chance low tier manufacturing is coming back on a sizable scale. If he cared so much about his working white class base he would tell those drug inducing, suicidal neanderthals to get their education and expand community and local college access the board (This would also benefit Black men as well).
but I guess that’s too woke for them
