Trump needs to realise he really doesn't have the cards.

That was the only possible response
How did he think that was going to go? Did he think they’d be all “let’s hand over the only thing keeping the us invested in our sovereignty hehehe”

Trump: Why don't you guys move half your manufacturing to the US...that way we still get your chips even if China invades?
Taiwan: Ummm. Yeah, no.
replies:
Didn’t Biden try to get Taiwan to make chips in the US but they thought Americans were too dumb to learn how to make them lmao

Ukraine: First time?
America doesn't need half of it's national demand met by domestic production. Just enough to not need to start from scratch should China gain control over Taiwan. South Korea might already be fulfilling that role with GlobalFoundries (though that's owned by the UAE so ... ).
It'd be a nightmare trying to get the skilled foreign labor into America these days though so it's a lost cause anyway.
A "demand" is not a negotiation. I'm starting to think that trump is neither a good businessman nor a good negotiator. /s
