I’m 100% onboard the Trump train, but it’s been obvious all along that he has picked issues that are surrounded by a lot of emotion (e.g. the Carrier move) and uses them as examples for how he would work to change the choices made by US-based companies. I know others take every word he says literally and I don’t, no more than I believe everything Rush Limbaugh or Ted Cruz say. They are painting with broad strokes in order to communicate a vision more than create an iron-tight case. While some changes would require legislative support, I only need to point to Obamacare and the Porkulus to show how quickly and dramatically Congress can rise to support a President’s legislative demands when the are motivated to do so.

Except he doesn't say how he would change those decisions. Tariffs? Higher taxes?

Watching you country die economically is a pretty emotional issue.
