You didn't answer the question, just vague 'it's all globalism all the way down'. Ok, whatever. That's meaningless.

I did answer your question, just not the way you wanted. The corporate sphere is just as corrupt as the governmental sphere, and we know governments are insanely corrupt. Governments and corporations are working together to enrich each other. If you'd like a specific answer to

How much of the economy are monopolies that also compete with other countries?

Quite a few corporate monopolies, that operate in the U.S., still compete with foreign nations. People make the mistake that our enemies are monolithic and all powerful. They're not. They hold every anti-virtue imaginable, and inherent to their anti-virtues, can't maintain hegemony and group cohesion with their malicious corrupt buddies. They all have disparate interests, spheres of control, and slightly different goals. One monopoly which operates in the U.S. is competing against the monopoly that exists in China, or India. The governmental subsidized large scale farmers in the U.S. are competing against farmers in other countries. Pharmaceutical mega corps, while competing against each other, have a monopoly on how medicine and the medical industry operate in the U.S., but compete with foreign nations in how they operate their medical industries, especially with those countries that have centralized health care, which impugns on the pharma corps' ability to make as much profits overseas.

It takes years for the most complicated tech manufacturing that need a clean room and operate on like angstrom scale. Cars maybe a year (but cars are already made here). Other stuff six months, easily doable in less.

Have you worked in a factory? I have. It takes a lot more time to get a factory operational than just building it. You have to hire and train all the staff. You have to get all the machines up and running. You have to get the factory running efficiently, with 100% uptime, and troubleshoot lots and lots of problems. You have to increase quality control. All that stuff takes time. The factory I worked at, which at the time was still trying to troubleshoot problems, improve quality control, and get to 100% uptime, ran out of money before achieving that. Most smaller businesses (sub 1000 employees) can't absorb or invest the massive cost of just moving factories and manufacturing.

And, you're forgetting the time it takes before a factory is even built, for companies to shift locations, which itself requires the company to reevaluate, weigh options, run studies, look into possible locations for new factories, get governmental approval and licensing, have engineers design the factory, buy or make the machinery that'll be used to run it, which may also take engineers to design and other smaller factories to create the machinery for, and jump through lots of red tape. It's a lot longer than just 1 year for a standard factory. It takes years.

The shift of manufacturing away from the U.S. took decades. It's not going to be reversed in Trump's term. Anyone claiming otherwise is extremely deluded.
