If you look at Trump’s actions, not his word, it’s clear he wouldn’t be protectionist. He’ll ship every job he can overseas or give it to illegals.
The only limitation is that it must be done legally.
Private companies, such as the ones I operated, have the freedom to do what they please. If they lose money, it is their money and no one’s business.
If government regulations, tariffs, taxes and laws close the advantages of manufacturing overseas to all, or make it less profitable, then you would not see CEO’s like Trump going overseas.
The industry I was in is almost nonexistent in the US today because of the cost of doing business here was dramatically higher than the cost of going overseas. Every one who tried to fight it went broke. That is BROKE.
Apparently you have no understanding of the difficulties of competing with overseas manufacturers.
Damn you are one little lying dirt bag.
Reagan put tariffs on Japan and they moved production to the US South. That’s why there are Toyota plants in Alabama, etc. This isn’t hard.
The voices must be getting loud - are you having visions to go with them?
