A hotel is not a plant. A hotel has to be physically located where it is used. By building hotels overseas those profits come back to the US. Trump hotels are good.
Regardless - we cannot mandate that companies cannot move overseas - that kind of socialist distortion never works. What we can do is create a reasonably competitive tax and regulatory paradigm that will keep businesses here.
You are correct of course. And I confess to a mini-troll but I promise not to do it again.
Yes, hotels are not plants. Terrible anology.
And yes, Trump is starting to way over do it with the arm twisting. He should do what he can do to improve the domestic tax and regulation environment and then get out of the way.
