Everyone’s squawking about Trump suggesting he would place tariffs on John Deere products after they announced they’re moving a large manufacturing segment to Mexico. According to the WSJ, the perfect storm precipitated this when the UAW negotiated a sweetheart deal increasing worker pay and benefits when Deere faced decreasing demand for their products once the post-Covid boom began to subside. The result was that Deere laid off 2000 workers and moved manufacturing to Mexico as a cost-saving measure. It would objectively appear that the greatest threat to American manufacturing is the Democratic Party and their continued support for workers unions that ultimately benefit only the workers that remain employed after the purge.
