We'll sure, he's talking like a left wing pro-union Democrat, of course he will buy off some of their votes using liberal rhetoric.
He could buy off even more of those Dem voters if he resurrected his massive wealth tax, or changed his mind again and wanted single payer health care, etc.
If Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton said they would "not allow" Ford to move to Mexico, most conservatives would be outraged. They don't have the right to tell Ford where they can build their plants. And neither can they just impose a huge tariff on their own the way some people here seem to think they can (we have congressionally approved trade agreements with these countries that can't just be torn up over night).
This is just another example proving that Trump is not a conservative. I begin to wonder if his supporters, even here on a supposedly conservative website, are actually conservative or if they'd be better labeled as nationalists first with actual conservatism taking a minor role in the back seat.
Sanders and HRC have no clue about business and dealmaking. Trump does. So yeah it’s way different when Trump talks about “not allowing”. You have to think logically not kneejerk react to soundbites. If I see a house I want to buy and say “nobody else is going to buy that I am” I am not implying I am forcing anyone to sell it to me. It means I’m going to make the best deal and make it happen. That is how Trump thinks.
But you already cannot stand him and have your mind made up about him so anything he says isn’t going to convince you. That’s fine he isn’t your guy.
Happy to be called a nationalist. That was the name of George Washington’s party.
