Trump thinks factories are magic. They aren’t things you can just conjure out of the ether by sacrificing a pile of cash - it takes hard work, thinking, and negotiation.
That’s not true. You get 10 injection presses and a few molds. Yeah you’re out a few million but nobody would argue that your facility isn’t small given you probably only really need 20-30 employees at that point. Or you hire a few welders as a job shop for welded pieces. Thats manufacturing still.

Things that Trump is incapable of.
Also, if you’re capable of investing in manufacturing, you’re no longer a small business.

“A few million” is not a small business.
According to census unless their revenues are as high as their capital expenses then yes they are

Trump has OCD, around tariffs and germs.
