Forgive my vanity in suggesting the best way for Donald Trump to counter the negatives that the Leftist media & globalist business interests appear bent on exploiting, to defeat his candidacy in November. But there is a relatively simple way for him to accomplish several goals with one relatively simple stroke; several goals simply by the effective use of program length television & radio.
Consider the false narrative being promoted by various business groups, insistent on an imagined need for their version of both "free trade" & "liberal immigration" policy; a false narrative being given great currency in the media.
It is a veritable given, that the true effect of any policy, both pro & con, will be found in understanding the full context of the dynamic factors involved. Donald has already garnered the support of those opposed to the policies indicated. Many of the claimed "negatives," about his candidacy, flow from the false narrative of the claimed effect of those opposed policies on the Gross Domestic Product of the United States. Other negatives flow from the claim that he generally lacks specificity, is arrogant, and is simply shooting from the hip.
Clearly the following approach answers the need to rebut all of those claimed negatives--and the same approach, in modified formats, can be adopted with respect to all other issues:
In a half hour broadcast, in a fatherly, not argumentative manner, Donald simply refutes the fallacy of "macro economics"; quietly, but forcefully breaking down how in aggregating the effect of an infinite number of economic decisions, the actual effect on any community, segment of the population, State or economic class is completely masked.
This would include showing how multi-national corporations, indifferent to America's unique interests--but large enough to survive the destructive regulations that destroy local industry--sop up the "growth" in GDP; how any growth from low wage immigration, or increased markets, via new immigrants, more likely goes to those new immigrants, than to rooted Americans; how, in fact, the effect of the open border, inures more to Latin America's benefit than to that of the rooted American population, being put out of work, while bearing the social costs attendant on an incongruous flood of those with very different values.
In short, in a fatherly way, which reverses the perception of some as to Donald Trump's personality, Trump can teach the public why--why in absolutely irrefutable terms--mainstream America has been suffering, not benefiting from the false narrative, being promoted by those employing the completely misleading techniques of "macro economic" rationalizations, which can only mask the evolving tragedy, that Trump intends to correct.
Let me add to the above posts that my tactical suggestion could be implemented at any time, and could be expected to accrue positive benefits immediately. It both strengthens Trump on his policy stands, and it makes him seem very statesmanlike at the same time.
Bump to my last suggestion.
The art of politics is the art of tripping levers of credibility in the minds of those addressed. Opportunities to do so are very important. Seizing them is essential.
[Reasonable responses?]
You can never expect reasonable responses from anyone or anything with FOX in their name.
That man isn't fit to polish my father's shoes.
The reason, of course, for a fatherly tone in addressing the misunderstood aspects of our contemporary economy is that educating the public on what Academia and the Mass Media choose to ignore, is a fatherly task. I do not know your father, but I strongly suspect that Donald Trump would be better at that educational process than your dad. But to be fair to you, that is only my suspicion. Perhaps if your dad was Adam Smith, I would have to rethink that.

You don't know my father. I do.
My dad had Trump beat when he got back from Korea, and that was just the beginning.
That is my opinion, and you don't have any basis for judgement of that, so your opinion doesn't mean shit, especially not to me.
Trump is the real deal. The fact that you honor your father is hardly an argument to the contrary.
By the way, in Ohio we worship God, not man!
More relevant than ever!
This technique, discussed in the article, is particularly suited to exploit the discomfiture among the Democrats, this year, who are wrestling to explain away the effects of their policies on middle-class American communities. It answers the real questions that Hillary & Sanders have been dancing around.

I think you have an awesome plan!
Thank you. I hope that someone on the Trump campaign staff agrees with you. I can illustrate the technique to anyone paying attention.
I believe that the tactic, proposed, would be very effective in Indiana—next door—before their Primary in early May.
It is time to really focus on winning Indiana for Donald Trump. It is the chance to achieve the aura of inevitability.

And by the way, did everyone note how he telegraphed part of his coming dismemberment of Mrs. Clinton's pretensions, in his victory talk? Think about the possibilities of coupling the North Korea threat--mishandled, you may recall by the Clintons in the 1990s--with Hillary's Benghazi foul up, and with the present nuclear threat?
Just how does Mrs. Clinton handle a frank discussion of the danger & the Clinton history of ineffectiveness in dealing with that danger when it was more embryonic? How many of those American women, whom Hillary is counting on, are really going to trust her to keep America safe, when North Korea continues to develop its nuclear capacity?
This could be where feminist silliness is forced to accept reality.
