Exactly. Biden was bringing a lot of manufacturing into Ohio through the chips and infrastructure acts. Manufacturing with good mixes in skill of labor.
We aren't competitive in stuff like steel or high volume low cost manufacturing. What we are able to compete on is high skill and high tech manufacturing. Things like chips, manufacturing equipment, and vehicles. Our labor is disproportionately skilled and our costs of living and land are significantly higher than in many countries. I would also love a focus on domestic production of green technologies like batteries, wind turbines, solar panels, and trains and rail equipment. There's a reason China focused on such things.
I'm pro manufacturing, it's my career. But tariffing everyone and everything doesn't improve manufacturing. Targeted combinations of tariffs and subsidies do.
Additionally it needs to be said that when Trump does target, he focuses on outdated things, namely coal.
