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.
The images from the Trump speech in California this afternoon should clinch Indiana.
Think about it.
