What he really means is that companies that profit from importing cheap goods and exporting jobs are giving him campaign contributions.
What jobs have been exported?There are more jobs now than last year and more then than the year before. They are just in different fields. Nobody makes whale oil lamps anymore. Life moves on!

At the end of WW2, the US was the industrial engine of the world producing 40% of all the world's manufactured goods. Last year, the US produced 45% of the manufactured goods USED IN THE US. What happened?
Government happened. Corporate taxes, tariffs, regulations, environmentalism happened. And in the last 3 years, the US dropped from 6th to 10th place on Heritage Foundations list of the world's most free nations so don't look for things to get better.

Why don't you take a look at the US Aeorspace industry? Airbus and Eurocopter are good places to start. The French goverment has targeted the US in both these areas and has won the battle. We just haven't realized it yet.

Ah, the "whale oil" argument.
Totally uninformed and deceptive--but some will buy it.
Wanna see 'whale oil?' How about H-P? AON? Motorola? Ford Motor? GE?
Yeah, whale oil.
