Nobody is going to build those factories without an upset.
This is true but I don't know if it will work. There's a huge risk that companies view this as a comparison between:
Invest a bunch of money in US factories that won't be operational until 2028 or later
Do nothing different until 2028
The next 4 years are down for everyone regardless and then it's a question of if they thought these policies will outlast Trump. Practically, I think this is the kind of thing that has to be done at the start of a two-term span and winning that second election would be a bitch because voters are short-sighted and there'd be a deluge of globalist contributions to the opposition. Or it needs to be done through legislation that can't be undone day 1 of a new president.
If they think the tariffs will go away before the new production is on-line, there's not really financial pressure to invest.
