Let’s be clear on what a patriot is and what patriotism means. It doesn’t mean supporting international trade, reverse mercantilism through offshoring, international labor arbitrage all to the detriment of the American people and it doesn’t mean supporting de industrialization to increase corporate profits.

Here here Very much agree with you.

These arguments need to be honed and refined at least for me when I have opportunity to rebut.

I have been noticing lately when confronted with such arguments, as I imagine you or I would make based on your posts, so called conservatives (Levin, Shapiro, Limbaugh (yes), Medved) instantly jump to saying something like "these people don't understand economics".

Implying we are stupid and that economics is a complex subject (which it is) beyond most of us; however, then they give incredibly simplistic explanations and situations - demonstrating just dual of what they have said is true.

Trump is finally breaking it down and making the complex understandable vocalizing what many know in their economic gut (pocket book/wallet) to be true, and giving examples to highlight the nuances that these luminaries just don't have the time to learn.

Its becoming more and more obvious some of these shill once they got the song and dance down stopped using their minds for orginal thought.

This atmosphere of pull up the ladder after you make yours (Buffet, Bezos, Gates, Soros, Zuckerberg, Schmidt ...) and screw your fellow countryman is not capitalism is not free trade and is not patriotic. It is just the opposite - its short sighted self-greed, endangering treasonous behavior everyone posing as free enterprise and foisting upon us a techno marxist hell.
