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.
We really do need to drain the swamp in DC.
