What Trump's industrial policy will look like

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

68% : Industrial policy has been Joe Biden's thing, and conventional wisdom is that Trump will spend some of his first few months in office dismantling government support for industries such as semiconductors and electric vehicles.
68% : This week, we'll get the first glimpse of what such a policy might look like, with the introduction of the bipartisan Ships for America Act, co-sponsored by politicians including the senator Mark Kelly, a Democrat, and Republican congressman Mike Waltz, Trump's incoming national security adviser.
60% : Trump may, in fact, bring his own kind of industrial policy to a second term, one focused particularly on the intersection of security and commerce.
57% : In his inimitable fashion, Trump could easily say: "What took you all so long to implement my industrial policy?"What's more, an industrial policy around shipbuilding has broad labour support, which would bolster its chances of an easy passage in Congress (both parties want to solidify support among working people).
51% : But in fact, it was Trump himself who first pushed the idea of bolstering America's icebreaker fleet over the next 10 years.
46% : In his first term as president, Donald Trump talked about bolstering US manufacturing but did little to support it.
26% : One might think that Biden's support for such an effort would automatically make Trump want to bury it.
