President-elect Donald J. Trump’s incoming administration is girding for battle with corporatists, globalists, and special business interests over his core policy objective of bringing U.S. manufacturing jobs that have been shipped overseas back to the United States, several senior advisers to Trump tell Breitbart News.
“There is a big fight brewing over control of the American economy’s direction,” one of three senior advisers to the president-elect with intimate knowledge of the looming fight told Breitbart News. “Globalists, Wall Street fat cats and corporatists are fighting against President-elect Trump’s core message of returning the United States back to a major manufacturing power on the world stage. Nationalists, on the other hand, want to return power and wealth back to the people in the middle and working class in America.”
The senior incoming administration sources expect this fight to play out on three major policy fronts: trade, infrastructure, and taxes and the budget. Globalist elitists want Trump policies on these fronts to benefit the upper corporate echelon, whereas the nationalist populists would rather the focus be on benefits to the middle and working classes. Those same upper corporate echelon elites have shipped jobs overseas thanks to weak U.S. trade deals, then reaped the benefits of government connections for major contracts for U.S. projects—all while being sheltered by tax code proposals from career politicians that reward the wealthiest in society without much regard for the average American worker or family. Nationalist populists want to restore the balance in that equation by making sure that average American workers—not corporatist elites—have a job so they can feed their families and reap the majority of benefits from the tax code and from infrastructure projects.

Ping.
I’m betting on Trump.
Actually, it is all that and then some. What few ever talk about is the National Security issue that idling our workers and factories means to America. Now that Russia is on the move and colluding with China, Iran, etc.
Stop for one moment and consider if we were to go to full-scale war with Russia? What side is China on and does all trade come to a stop?
The dogma is stated
Yep - during WWII, we had infrastructure enough o do an incredible gear-up - today, especially with technologies that not enough are competent with, we are at a marked disadvantage.
This single issue will define the Trump presidency for many, including this poster.
Many, many Americans are sick and tired, of a small cabal of rich industrialists, selling their factories to China and other countries, keeping 49 percent of the profits, and leaving America.
SICK OF IT.
I believe this is way Trump was elected. The entire reason. The globalists were ending the GOP. The party would have completely lost control, maybe permanently, with Hillary winning this last election.
Fortunately, for the GOP, Trump ran.
Trump wasn’t your typical “globalist” GOP flunky. That is why so many, supported him. That is why he won.
Trump, we believed in you. We support you. We are behind you 100%.
But remember why you were elected.
You were elected, to end globalism. Bring back American jobs, and bring back our country, from the globalists who have been destroying it.
Trump, we supported you for America.
Do your job.
Thank you. Sincerely, a long-time supporter.
I agree with post 8. The ground swell which elected President-Elect Trump was made up of we little people who saw the fat cats, globalists, politicians who traded favor to corporate interests fro campaign cash were ruining America.
Mr Trump pointed this out and promised to stop this political abuse. Pray to God he makes good on these promises. Support him by voicing support for him when you see the entrenched politicians of both parties who will try to obstruct change for the good.
The movement to offshore and to immigrate will not be easily killed.
There are trillions of dollars at stake.
Such high stakes change in history usually resulted in mass graves.
the more I educate myself, the more I realize we are playing against long-established, behind-the-scenes powers that don't like their agenda being messed with...
Fat cats frown upon the act of starvation. DJT has a monumental task ahead. The nation has this bad habit set in stone for the past decades. To learn the how to’s, the population will require the need to be retaught in building a nation of manufacturing. Thinkers have been beaten to brain dead restraints far too long. To think it was our men of yesterday who managed to save a group of miners when there was no other option.... sad, that ability has been tossed aside and may never be known again. Not only jobs have been lost. Lives have been lost.
“To learn the how to’s, the population will require the need to be retaught in building a nation of manufacturing.”
The task is even more daunting when it comes to implementing an industrial renaissance when you consider the boomer generation with the manufacturing planning, technical and supervisory skills are retiring. The educational institutions are not teaching college grads the analytical skills needed to run efficient operations. A prosperous future for a revitalized US manufacturing base will require the millennial generation to rise to the challenge. They will be the workers, production planners, industrial engineers, and supervisors who will determine if new American factories operate efficiently and compete effectively. If they choose to make new factories laboratories for politically correct social engineering, instead of focusing on customer service and efficiency, the new factories will fail and the United States will slide into a mediocre third world economy where our natural resources are exploited by rising Asian industrial giant and our people will live in poverty.
The millennial generation will also have to put aside their video games and smart phones. Building and starting up factories requires grueling 12 hour days standing on hard concrete floors, not a leisurely 9-5 day sitting in an ergonomic chair staring at a computer screen with a cup of Starbucks next to the mouse. Training and supervising requires excellent face to face communication and motivational skills, not texting from one smartphone to another. The best managers of people walk and talk, they don’t sit hundreds of miles away in skyscrapers sending out text messages and emails. John D. Rockefeller worked in oil fields and Andrew Carnegie was no stranger to the floor of a steel mill. Will the new industrialists have dirty fingernails or will they sit in Manhattan penthouses and party in the Hamptons on weekends?
The other issue will be the capital required to build new factories. The CEO jobs in most companies are filled with financial manipulators and lawyers who do not understand internal manufacturing or serving customers. Will the Warren Buffetts, Tom Steyers, Carl Ichans, and other billionaire globalist financiers, who have spent decades downizing and outsourcing US factories, invest their billions to rebuild American manufacturing and supply chains, or will they spend their billions funding leftist social activism, leftist universities, and leftist politicians. It will require several trillion dollars, and at least a decade, to rebuild the US as an industrial power. These funds will have to come from the private sector, and the implementation will occur in the private sector. If the leaders of industry refuse to make the financial and people investments, there will be no renaissance. Trump can lead, but if money doesn’t follow, nothing will happen.
Universities will have to be overhauled as well. The curriculum in business schools is heavily geared to finance, not operations, product development, marketing or customer service. American primary and secondary schools will need to provide students with fundamental skills in math and science, and encourage them to pursue careers in engineering and factory level management.
Then there are Congress critters who will fight every change in the status quo.
They would not hesitate to do something like that. President Trump has needed security for a long, long time. I’m sure it’s well established. Nonetheless, prayers are of enormous importance—prayers and circumspection.
We are dealing with evil. We must not forget that.
Although I would add illegal immigration to trade as a defining issue for the Trump Presidency, I agree with everything you said.
I also predict that a mere year from now we will all be sitting here, basking in the warm glow we feel as a result of the strong turnabout we’re going to see throughout 2017 on both issues.
We are truly blessed to be living through the Second American Revolution.
I savor every day, and thank God that I’ve been allowed to live to see this.
Reality sets in bump for later....
