Per the new protocol you will have to do your own homework in adding up the numbers. With your professed technical expertise a little vaseline on the slide rule will make it easier.
Only you could proclaim "He’s never ever ever never been wrong about business" with a straight face.

But haven't you heard? According to Dan and the experts he allows to control his thoughts, these investments are bad for the country.
That's great news! How many of those investments do you think are a direct result of Trump's stick-over-carrot approach? Personally I find it difficult to believe Apple, for instance, decided on the spur of the moment to cough up $500 billion out of fear of Donald Trump. I suspect a half trillion dollar investment might take a while to put together. I didn't read all the links you provided, but none of them I read have actually taken place, they're something the Trump administration ballyhoos as something that may take place down the road. I guess we will see how many o them actually pan out. Lastly, you are aware, are you not, that when a foreign company invests in America its profits are added to the trade deficit. The trade deficit is the main reason Trump insists other countries are screwing the US. He wants to bring it down, says that's what his trade war is designed to do, then trumpets investments that will raise it. So please tell me what we are supposed to believe. Are those investments to which you linked guaranteed to take place? Did all of them come about because of Trump's sledge hammer approach, or were some of them decided long before Trump took power? And how does adding to the trade deficit, which Trump has convinced you is a detriment to our country and its economy, bring the trade deficit down?
Oops! I forgot one. [P-DAN], before you launch into war conniption fits, I want to ask you a question. Do you own a safe for your valuables? If so, why? I have 3-full standing fire proof ones. Why do you think that is?

If you were a patriotic American you would not even have to pose this faux 17th century screed. Find a new flag, commie. BTW the answer you ask for is since Jan. 20, 2025. I forgot to count the number of bombs & missiles he used to get these outstanding economic concessions. Tarrifs are not weapons, marone.
You might want to pass that knowledge on to our friend, Bearcat. He is convinced using tariffs as an economic weapon is brilliant economics.
Read the facts. Where do you think over half of these investments emanate from? Dan, & I rarely use your Christian name as I have a fear of blasphemy, you are lucky to be able to find your way home from the grocery store.
What facts am I missing? Bearcat has repeatedly cheered Trump's tariffs as a great weapon to force his way.
Dan, do you realize why Taiwan is of utmost importance to US national security? Do you understand why it's important medicine and medical equipment are national security issues. How about manufacturing?
I worked as a machinist back when I was working my way through college, always enjoyed working with my hands. Even back then I saw how important a trade like a machinist is vitally important for this country and it's security.
Has Bearcat repeatedly cheered Trump tariffs as a great weapon to force Trump's will on others or has he not?
Can you answer the questions or are you going to ignore them like you do everything else that is inconvenient to your narrative.
Remember Dan says investments like this are bad for America.
You are putting words in my mouth I have not uttered. All investments should be welcomed. Profits gained on investments made in America by foreign companies add to the trade deficit. Trump points to the trade deficit as a prime indicator that other countries are taking advantage of the US. He wants to use his tariffs as weapon to protect us from bring taken advantage of, saying they will reduce the trade deficit. At the same time he says by using tariffs as a weapon he will force foreign companies to build factories in America. But the profits made by the foreign companies’ American factory *add* to the trade deficit. He’s pulling the old switcheroo on us telling us his tariffs will both lower *and* raise the trade deficit at the same time.
Did you are did you not post an article from I think it was Cafe Hayek talking about how foreign companies moving their manufacturing to the US created a brain drain and did more harm than good? Yes you did but I don't read your articles, right Dan?
