Yeah look if Nth Korea can be self-sufficient in everything, so can the US. When Trump replaces his faulty neuron with a chip, it'll be made in America, and that matters.

Quintessentially , that’s what this administration is trying to do . It’s a sledgehammer approach to crack a rather large walnut , however it’s a complex process to roll back the handover of certain sectors of the manufacturing industry in the US and outsource it to the cheapest bidder .

I think ( as I’ve always said ) vital infrastructure should always remain in the domain of the host country and certain sectors ( irrespective of cost or funding allocation) need to stay in house .

He’s right about one thing, the US absolutely has to be able to make the essentials without relying on non allied countries. Medicines, weapons, energy, chips, etc.

I'm not sure if this is what Van meant, but if you can rule out Taiwan as a non-allied country, which countries (country?) in the world would be considered a close ally of the US these days? That shouldn't be a trick question in normal circumstances.

AI Overview
The claim that chip makers are coming back to the US
because of tariffs is misleading. While companies are investing in US manufacturing, this is primarily due to incentives offered by the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act. The recent threat of high tariffs is a separate, more recent, policy approach intended to complement or replace those incentives, and its long-term effectiveness in achieving this goal is debated by experts.
Key Details
CHIPS Act Incentives: The primary driver for recent investment has been the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, which provided over $52 billion in grants, tax credits, and funding for research and workforce training to attract private investment. Major manufacturers like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and Samsung announced new US fabrication plants (fabs) in response to these financial incentives.
Tariff Policy: The current administration has proposed a 100% tariff on imported semiconductors, with a significant caveat: companies that commit to manufacturing in the US would be exempt from the tax. This approach uses the "stick" of potential higher costs to force a shift, rather than the "carrot" of subsidies found in the CHIPS Act.
Expert Analysis:
Many experts argue that tariffs, by raising input costs for US manufacturers and consumers, could actually harm the US economy and slow the growth of key industries like AI.
Industry analysts suggest that the threat of tariffs may be a tactic to encourage more investment, as seen in Apple's additional $100 billion investment announcement made in tandem with the tariff threats.
Skepticism remains about whether tariffs will lead to a large-scale return of manufacturing, with some experts suggesting companies might raise prices or find alternative non-tariffed suppliers rather than commit to long-term, expensive US factory construction.
In conclusion, investments are happening, but they are generally attributed to the CHIPS Act's incentives, and the potential impact of tariffs as an alternative or complementary strategy is still playing out and faces significant debate among economists.

CHIPS Act Incentives-> Biden's policy paying off now and Trump taking credit for it.

Aside from Trump making himself rich, for those following Pelosi, there are a number of Republicans that do as well if not better.
This for Steven1's sake so he won't be stuck in a lurch since Pelosi has retired:
Oh, btw, none of the following personas signed anything like The Chips and Science Act.

AI Overview
Several Republican members of Congress have shown strong stock market returns, with performance sometimes exceeding or rivaling that associated with Nancy Pelosi.
For instance, in 2024, top Republican traders included:
Rep. David Rouzer (R-NC), who led all of Congress with a 149.0% portfolio return.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), with a 77.5% return.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), a notable active and successful trader.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), whose portfolio saw significant activity and appreciation.
It is worth noting that while Nancy Pelosi is a high-profile, successful trader, with a 70.9% return in 2024, the best single-year returns in 2024 were actually achieved by a Republican representative, David Rouzer. Trading performance varies by year and by individual, and many members across both parties have high-performing portfolios.
To track these trades, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been created, such as the Unusual Whales Subversive Republican Trading ETF (KRUZ or GOP) and the Democratic counterpart (NANC), allowing the public to follow the investments of all lawmakers.
