And our good option is who, exactly?!
Yep, iPhones are not ever going to be made in the US, and these angry, disaffected laid off blue collar workers are eventually going to be sorely disappointed with Trump. The problem is that they need to be re-trained for currently available high tech jobs. With economic growth, there can be newly created jobs for these people, but most of them are never going to get their old jobs back.
Trump lies about his positions or claims they have all magically changed in the last few years. It is possible that he never knows where he stands. It's also possible he suffers from a mental disease. I'm not a doctor but it is also likely he's a psychopath. (look up the definition before bashing me. Not all psychopaths are criminals.)
I have my issues with Trump, but I think this attack is not fair. If business regulations are unfair, does a business succeed by playing the Queen’s rules even as its competitors are street fighting? My Soviet colleague said the former Soviet Union forced citizens to be corrupt in order to survive. By doing so, it prevented a rebellious citizen from being held up by the masses as a paragon of virtue.
So I would argue it is different for a business to choose to outsource as the only means to survive as compared to a politician who sets up an economic environment that destroys manufacturing in his own country. In the former case, it is playing by the “rules on the ground.” In the latter, it is making a set of rules to enrich yourself at the expense of your constituents.
