I don't think US can replace all the manufacturing capability and move all in country "just like that".

>“We want them to come back... And we don’t want to give them billions of dollars like this ridiculous program that Biden has given everybody billions of dollars. They already have billions of dollars” Trump said before slamming the US’s CHIPS and Science Act, which his predecessor President Biden signed to invest over $52 billion in domestic chip manufacturing.

He really will just contradict himself in the same sentence if it means he takes full credit for something in the end. Nevermind that he gave out 500 billion to a bunch of trillionaire companies not even a week ago.

Maybe he wanted to say that "We won't give billions of dollars to people I don't like, but instead will give trillions of dollars to people I like".

Who knows? I'm not from US, so it might be an absurd interpretation of what he said.

No you are right, that is pretty much the basis of his platform.
