Perhaps if he thinks about it long enough, he’ll be able to figure out which nation got the best of the Free Trade deal.Out of all the variables in an international economy, how can you be so sure that it is free trade that caused the problem? Does monetary inflation play no part? Do high corporate tax rates have a role? Does government regulation matter? Do taxes on capital mean anything?
Free trade does not exist in a vacuum, you know.

Are you excusing free trade with unfree markets, never mind enemy countries?

Bingo. Our federal government literally drives our corporations overseas (through tax policy, mostly, but also with just general BS), and people whine about China. It's hilarious.
