There are better levers to get the results he wants re: competitive manufacturing vs some of our trade partners anyway

We had 4 years of the guy and it was by and large nothing unusual

Massive tariffs on all imports.

USA needs to go it alone and leave the faggy world behind.

There are much better ways to bolster domestic production and mfg competitiveness without potentially causing a globalized cascade of economic contraction. Tariff policies are one of the lesser stated reasons the European great powers got into WW1 btw. When wealth gets scarce, and nations feel that they're being wrongfully put over a barrel by the trade policies of others, relations between states break down and war often flares

Protectionism is far better for America. The rest of the world will suffer, and that's a good thing. They should suffer. Europe should suffer. Their nanny state governments should topple. America should turn inwards and forget these places. They suck and are owed nothing.

Even in dealing with China, the obvious foreign policy elephant in the room for the next century, neither us nor them could afford any real shocks in the trade relationship without seeing a bloodbath in both the markets and the CPI. My position on the matter for the last decade has always been gradual steps towards lessening our mutual interdependencies and weaning off of cheap Chinese mfg goods and resources but trying to do all of this stuff all at once and without any tact or realpolitik understanding of how we benefit bigly from the current post-war established paradigm of int'l trade will actually lead to an apocalyptic economic depression

There are extremely credible arguments to be made (and that have been made) against the neo-liberal NAFTA type policies that basically traded away large chunks of our manufacturing base for more American political leverage within the hemisphere and penny wise pound foolish handouts to shareholders of some of these int'l companies that profited. Hopefully his team addresses these problems through that lens as opposed to the dumber portion of America First type policies. The AF platform is a mixture of very smart and very dumb policy proposals; hopefully he and his people can sift through it all and separate the good from the bad

fwiw I don't think the racial angle actually played much of a big part this cycle; this is something very prolific on the Internet but is not something people talk or express about much in reality. My view is that this election was won over two things prior elections were also frequently decided over: immigration and the economy (and while immigration as a political topic *can* have a strong racial angle to it, I don't consider it to be an issue primarily rooted in race)

we can close the border (we should) while also not breaking the global economy to prove a point that could be proven in a dozen other different ways

a lot of this stuff trump has promised, if he follows it to the letter, is actually just going to destroy the country and usher in jewish dominated economic neofeudalism

He occasionally did pants on head retarded stuff and then just blamed it on xyz staff member before firing them and while this is a strong strategy for him personally it's not necessarily a good one for the platform or the country

His foreign policy wrt political motion (not necessarily economic) is actually one of his strongest suits and that's a field where outside of some iffyness on Israel I have high levels of confidence in his ability to make the right choices for the country

Ultimately he will probably just use the tariffs as a threat to secure more favorable trade terms

Then some Dem comes in and unwinds it and everyone gets busy again in the reverse, stoking more money flow in a different direction.
