“...missed...”

No. I understand that rebuilding infrastructure is not a job producing measure in the sense that it fixes the underlying unemployment problem and I clearly stated it.

Trump is not using the infrastructure issue as his means to fix the economy.

It is a separate problem to be solved. I am simply pointing out that the blue collar construction jobs that would result in parallel would not be a bad thing - I am not suggesting - as a liberal would - that this would fix the underlying problem.

Trump FULLY realizes that one has to grow the economy by bringing back manufacturing. It is one of his major platforms and this ignoring this to “prove” that Trump is actually not conservative does not really work. I think you missed my statement that Trump’s position is BOTH/AND.

I thought Trump was an anti-globalist, nationalist, populist?

Seriously, Trump has some conservative virtues but lacks many others such as acceding to an increase in the minimum wage and creating an entirely new entitlement. But we are now in a binary choice situation and the alternative is utterly unacceptable.
