Well Trump talks about the tariffs for effect like with Ford but what he really wants to do is renegotiate all of our trade agreements such as NAFTA, CAFTA etc. And that sorely needs to be done to decrease our trade deficit. He also wants to lower the corporate tax rate which will bring business back to the US.

This guy is no dummy. Dummies don’t get to be billionaires.

Trump's focus on the Ford Motor Company illustrates his ignorance about how that particular industry works. The auto manufacturing industry is in great shape in this country, and many new manufacturing plants have been built here in the U.S. since NAFTA was signed. But these plants have all been built in Southern states and are being operated by foreign manufacturers who don't hire UAW union workers. Ford is never bringing any jobs back here as long as they are tied to their UAW agreements, and Trump is delusional if he thinks otherwise.

From a purely political standpoint, Trump's biggest problem is that he's tailored his campaign to appeal to a shrinking base of Americans who actually aspire to work in factories. I know a few people whose parents worked in factories. They are all immigrants, and none of them will be voting for Donald Trump.
