Investing.com -- The list of companies and countries investing in the U.S. as part of President Donald Trump’s push to reshore manufacturing continues to grow.

On Monday, the Trump administration added Hyundai (OTC:HYMTF) to the list, with the conglomerate planning to announce a $20 billion U.S. investment. The South Korean company’s reported plan includes the construction of a $5 billion steel plant in Louisiana. The onshoring operation from Hyundai is expected to create 1,500 jobs.

Last week, AI chip giant NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) announced an investment of over $100 billion in the U.S., and pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) announced a more than $55 billion investment. Trump calls it the “Golden Age of America.”

“More investments, more jobs, and more money in the pockets of hardworking Americans – all thanks to President Trump’s economic policies,” U.S. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on X today. “President Trump is Making America Wealthy Again.” The total size of the announced investments since Trump took office on January 20, 2025, is just over $2.8 trillion.

The tariffs are working. With nearly $3 trillion in investment commitments, Trump’s tariff policies have forced businesses to shift production and capital into the U.S. rather than absorb heavy import costs. This has created a domestic manufacturing and job boom, with companies preferring to invest in America rather than risk tariffs on foreign production.

That “news” has been debunked. All of those projects were in the works before the election.

Most of Trump’s tariffs aren’t in effect yet, but you’re pretending they are “working”. 😆
 
Inflation ticked upward in February.

The "core" Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, which strips out food and energy costs and is closely watched by the central bank, rose 0.4% from the prior month during February, above economists expectations for a 0.3% increase. The reading was higher than the 0.3% increase seen in January.

Over the prior year, core prices rose 2.8%, above Wall Street's expectations of 2.7% and higher than the 2.6% seen in January.

U.S. airlines were flying high less than two months ago on talk of a new golden age, as strong travel demand and tight industry-wide capacity raised the prospect of a multi-year profit boom.
But President Donald Trump's broad tariffs and a crackdown on government spending have upended that optimism. Tourists and companies have reduced spending amid rising economic uncertainty, forcing carriers to cut their first-quarter profit forecasts.
The S&P 500 passenger airlines index (.SPLRCALI) is down about 15% this year and widely underperforming the broader S&P 500 index (.SPX). Shares of Delta (DAL.N) and United Airlines (UAL.O) have fallen about 20% each this year. Discounter Frontier Airlines (ULCC.O) is down 2%.

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” is fast approaching, and stock markets from Wall Street to Wellington, New Zealand, are falling Monday in advance of it.

In New York, the S&P 500 was down 0.6% following one of its worst losses of the past couple of years on Friday. It’s on track to finish the first three months of the year with a loss of nearly 6%, which could make this its worst quarter in nearly three years.

And that ^ is with the wealthy and corporate big wigs propping the market up.

If the markets crash and inflation returns, then President Musk (and DonOld) will be exposed as frauds, which will make the public question whether ALL the wealthy "stable geniuses” deserve to be compensated at the levels we see today.

At the moment, there is an unholy alliance (The Fed, the wealthy / corporations, and the oligarchs in Washington D.C., etc) engaged in market manipulation on a level never seen before (imho). How it plays out in the end is anyone’s guess. Can the unholy alliance prop up the economy and the markets long enough to secure further tax cuts, deregulation, and cuts to entitlement programs???

We shall see…

Also:

We. Told. Them. So.

The world economy is not crashing.
Maybe,maybe not, but the odds of the US entering a recession is getting much higher, enjoy. *chuckles*

They now see a 35% chance of recession in the next year, up from an earlier forecast of 20%, “reflecting our lower growth forecast, falling confidence, and statements from White House officials indicating willingness to tolerate economic pain,” according to Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle.
