Oops, maybe he’ll learn to think before he acts. /s
Project 2025 and Elon have no care for hurting the people.
Turn off the juice to the wasteful and inefficient houses. Done.

If there’s one guarantee about morons it is that they never learn from past mistakes. And they’re always guaranteed to repeat the same mistake
It’s already 12+mo lead for substation gear. I’m waiting 20 weeks for a refurb 750kva
Trump has no plans. He’s just a useful idiot.
Most of the production is already within the USA, look into the nations who export to the USA, most had tariffs in place already prior to Trump’s first mandate.
It’s largely political optics and will not do much.
Really need emp resistant transformers without back door access
“I hate this thing,.I dunno why” – orange dimwit
“But we need this thing for the other thing you like” – normal people
“Ok, I take it back. That makes me a genius” – the dimwit
“Wow, he’s a genius, no one ever thought of this, it must be a negotiation tactic” – cultists
“Oh I just pooped my diaper.” – the dimwit
The grid definitely needs transformers, and it has been widely reported that transformers are already a bottleneck for infrastructure projects. But the datacenter industry may be willing to pay the extra cost caused by the tariffs.
The bigger issue as it relates to steel is the uncertainty about tariffs, companies do not want to make big investment if they do not know what tariffs will be in the future.
Dictators are so stupid
Global trade is how you build a nation, making allies is how you make good deals; Frump doesn’t know how to do either of these and yet wants to claim he’s going to accomplish both.
Drill rod and casings for oil wells are another …………our company’s sales have stopped supposedly car dealers can’t sell cars so the “orange ranga” made us great again
Trump’s tariffs on steel and aluminum shows how little he understands about economics. He says he want to help American manufacturing but then he puts tariffs on their raw materials which will make their products more expensive.
Um we don’t need “foreign steel”. We have several steel plants that can decimated over the decades with non tariffed foreign steel dumped on our doorstep by foreign companies subsidized by totalitarian regimes.
Absolutely idiotic take by this article writer.
The plan is to isolate and destroy the United States of America 🇺🇸
