A lynchpin of Trump's claims about tariffs is that they are carried out to bring the production back to the USA. Trump expects companies to go back to America.
However, when Minister of Commerce Howard Lutnick was pushed into the nation on the face of CBS, he told a different story.
Transcript from CBS 'face the nation:
Sec. Lutnick: The country is concentrated on it- they recognize that trillion dollars are built in America. This is a huge GDP. The factories built in America are a huge GDP.
Margaret Brennan: That takes years
Sec. Lutnick: And that will be important for us.
Margaret Brennan: And they said robots will fill these jobs. So these are not employee jobs of the union.
Sec. Lutnick: No, they are really automated jobs. Automated factory-automated factories are automated. But the key is, who will build the factories? Who will operate the factories? Who will get you up and running? Great American workers. You know we will replace-
Margaret Brennan: You said robots in other networks. You said that to Fox.
Sec. Lutnick:- The armies of millions of people: Remember the army of millions and millions of people who screw in small screws to make iPhones, something like that will come to America. It will be automated and great Americans are- the trade in America will repair them, will work on them. You will be mechanics. There will be HLK specialists. There will be electricians, America's trade art.

The cat is now out of the pocket. The preliminary walls for these tariffs, which are good for others as potentially billionaires, are exposed by members of the Trump administration.
The tariffs are a regressive tax that aims at the people in the middle and the American economy.
Customs are an upward distribution of prosperity.
The workers did not believe that when he spoke about bringing jobs back to America, he said that he said that people in automated plants and billionaire work in maintenance and caretaker could get in automated plants, but that seems to be what the Trump administration is promising.
It's all a lie and an untruth that the economy falls.
