How to lose allies and alienate investors

John Fugelsang - Substack
Sept 6, 2025

You know what’s dumber than Tariffs on our allies, or the National Guard on our streets? ICE raiding a Hyundai plant in Georgia. Let’s recall some ancient history. Trump’s whole 2024 economic gospel was “Build factories in America, bring jobs home!”

Those of us who remembered Trump outsourcing his own merch manufacturing to Mexico & China tried to warn our MAGA pals. Trump’s own history proved he'd never actually cared about “Made in the USA,” we reminded. But we were promptly called “globalist Marxist groomer cucks,” all of which are hard to be at the same time.

Turns out, when Trump warned of “foreign invasions,” he meant engineers with PhDs.

They wound up arresting nearly 500 people, including legal US citizens, legal South Korean workers, and various South Korean nationals setting up the plant who were allegedly here illegally after overstaying their visas, or whose specific work wasn’t covered by their visas.

the rest is here
