Trump repatriates investment billions: The Trump Difference has many manifestations, not least of which is the confidence his presence in the White House inspires both in corporate America and around the world at large. This confidence, in turn, takes the form of business investment — from companies such as Apple ($500 billion), Johnson & Johnson ($55 billion over four years), Japan-based SoftBank ($100 billion over four years), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing ($165 billion), and the United Arab Emirates (a whopping $1.4 trillion over four years). All this in just two months. Suffice it to say, the hyper-regulatory Biden administration fostered far less enthusiasm among the world's great companies — some $910 billion in private manufacturing investments over its four-year term.
