This is a great example. Had Lutnick said, "thousands of factories will be built...", there would have been an uproar. The media would be all over it, airing segments and interviews about how the public has been told these lies too many times for them to be believed. Now, will trillions of factories about to built, it becomes believable. Maga cheers.
