A 20% tariff is a 20% guaranteed profit margin for any company willing to repatriate production. Greed will bring back manufacturing to the USA, just like greed made corporations seek the cheapest stoop labor from all over the world. Greed cuts both ways. Anyone making product would kill for a 20% profit margin.

Or they can continue making the goods overseas at cheap costs and pass the tariff on to the consumers.

Greed says no to that but instead make it here for the windfall. Greed is good. I think Trump can come up with a tax incentive for upstarts to build high tech state of the art factories in the USA behind a 20% tariffs. Not a hard sell.
