PROTECTIONISM FUCK EVERYBODY ELSE FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM

He could try, but there is too much special interest and (((special interest))) tied up in globalism, that the politicians and the money that fuels them would descend on Trump in a second. He would need to make the US a lucrative and comfortable home for businesses, while punishing those who violate any anti-globalism laws which would be a delicate balance and would constantly be under attack.
And if he somehow could get past that, Americans are too divided and selfish to weather the temporary hardships and higher prices that come with shifting back to producing our own shit and buying it to support our economy.

Globalism has provided big businesses all the benefits of slavery, without the costs, or so they think. In reality, these third world countries are robbing us and them blind when you consider the quality of work they produce and the corners they cut for the money they are paid, but these businesses are making big short-term profits so they really don't give a fuck. It's cheaper in the short term when they look at all the safety regulations and quality control they are not having to pay for, but look at how well that has worked in cases of the F35 and, Lockheed shipping manufacturing and assembly to south-east Asia.

>You forgot to answer

Ending NAFTA, obviously.

>He would need to make the US a lucrative and comfortable home for businesses

What measures would he take to achieve this?

>Americans are too divided and selfish to weather the temporary hardships and higher prices that come with shifting back to producing our own shit and buying it to support our economy.

You got a point, do you think there's a way trump could inspire the people to put aside their differences?

I thought in mexico he said it was going to be renegotiated to benefit america AND mexico?

Not signing TPP, and doing something about NAFTA (either getting rid of it or renegotiating it) would be a good first step. It'll be hard though.

I would just be happy if he tariffed chinese goods equally as they STILL tariff ours.

then subsidized the domestic production of rare earths and other strategic valuable elements.
>we haven't mined cobalt in the USA since the 60s and the government stockpile is down to 300 tons.
>plutonium supplies are critically low. NASA can only make one or two more RTGs to power space probes and mars robots.
>subsidized rare earths would break China's control of the market. then we can export rare earths to Japan, Taiwan, SKorea, etc.

>What measures would he take to achieve this?
Not sure honestly, globalism makes these companies a fuck ton of fast, easy money. It cheapens the labor costs and opens up many markets, (assuming it's with one of the nations we didn't make a one-sided, shit trade deal with).
It would have to be something that provides an incentive to stay in the US, to show them that they cannot find a first world nation that would provide the environment for growth and economic freedom that the US does. Tax cuts? Death threats? Who knows, it's an uphill battle against people who give a shit less about the US, but it's not impossible.

>do you think there's a way trump could inspire the people to put aside their differences?
Maybe not in the short term, this nation is full of so many radicalised, conflicting beliefs and interests, and everyone's respective primary interests have been encouraged to be placed above the bigger picture and their country. It makes people easily manipulatble and weak, it's the perfect environment for a politician to farm votes from, which is why it's encouraged.

I don't have a concrete answer to either question.

Wew that sounds like a good idea actually

>hire americans looking for work as miners
>mine ore
>sell on the market
>china is cucked

Sounds pretty good to me desu

Wew

I see what u mean tho famalam

there are already several rare earth operations set up. they just can't run ever because China dumps onto the market and keeps them from being profitable.

No. There are too many pockets filled up abroad that are lined into outsourcing and globalist politics. American business men and their buddy lobbyists are rolling over in big vaults of green from the mad schemes they have designed with foreign industrialists. Trump would have to literally become a despot to cut through all of the red tape in the way of his pipe dream, and that would result in so much chaos that it would just lead to collapse anyway.

You can hope, hope, hope, and hope again for Trump to save Lady Liberty, but that titan is dead, and she is not coming back.

We need the same economic boom Japan had in our tech sector

Like we need to make a lot of TV's and shit

the consumer tech market is dominated by Korea now.

every tv in my house is a samsung, my phone is a samsung.

That only happened because the government and people made the decision to not buy cheaper foreign goods from the West, and instead focus on building good business strategies and domestic production.

It all comes down to what people find more important: pricier and higher quality, or cheaper, (even though you're still paying too much for the shit quality, but how many Americans are aware of that?) and poorer quality? Most have chosen the latter, they'll save a few dollars to buy something that will last only a small fraction of the time the better quality version will, because we all look for short-term benefits, and we all just take the attitude that if it breaks, I'll just buy another.

Build the wall, gas the kikes, hang the niggers, and migrate the messicans = Total Fucking Employement

bump

It's easy pham.

The USA is just a "brand".

It was a brand in the 50s and it's a brand now. Somewhere between then and now the brand lost credibility. It went from being associated with hard work and quality to ignorance, obesity and sloth.

If you boost the "brand" you can boost the price. Corporations and business are moving out because the USA brand is garbage, so it doesn't matter where it is produced. When the brand becomes profitable again, the economy will grow. We need more money and resources from other countries.

Of course the products we buy will be cheap and Chinese because Americans don't give a fuck and we really are fat lazy and ignorant, it has to be cheap. As long as we get that sweet foreign money though we'll be alright. Trump knows this.

Tariffs. You want to sell chink shit in America? Pay up.

All that goes out the window when you're trading with other countries that don't adhere to the same standards as your country. Then the comparative advantage is a market distortion. Econ 533.

You do it on a case by case basis. Import tariffs on select goods that make it more expensive to produce overseas. You can also prevent companies from outsourcing in the first place.

Before you do anything, you have to cushion the blow by lowering corporate tax rates.

Most of the companies Trump wants to bring back produced in the US in the first place - they just outsourced to improve profitability - prices never came down on the consumer side. Ever seen prices fall following a factory being outsourced? Nope. Ever see stock prices rise? Yep.

>I thought in mexico he said it was going to be renegotiated to benefit america AND mexico?

One doesn't need NAFTA to do that, pal.

Oh yeah

Really fires up the neurons

Why do you want shit tier manufacturing back?

No its not. This is easily econ201. 101 is muhfuggin scarcity

Wait how was it shit tier?

Unfortunately the chink shit is American shit made in Chinese factories.

And the person who will have to "pay up" is you, if you want shit.

The question is do Americans want to make a personal sacrifice for a better society? And since at no point in history has anyone happily paid more to support their national economy, it's pretty obvious what the answer is.

Repetitive no skill manual labor for cheap goods is shit tier, and it also means shit wages or expensive goods that we have grown used to being cheap.

USA produces more than ever, robots were replacing people before NAFTA.

>Why do you want to provide work opportunities to create/heal the middle class?

Somebodys gotta build those walls (one for Canada too)

lol how is increasing the cost of goods 200 - 300 percent to bring in a job that pays 10 bucks an hour or less helping the middle class?

>trading with other countries that don't adhere to the same standards

So the issue that troubles the blue collar losers is environmental protection standards in China? Do they weep every time a foxconn employee jumps off the roof?

Even if there were comparable standards (and that's a vague term), labour costs would still be lower in poorer countries because they are.. umm poor.

lol no. The only thing that will bring manufacturing back is a third world war that forces us to produce goods in North America again.

>le service meme

if he is bold enough to use tarriffs/quotas,as well as provide some state funding and cheap policy loans to car industries in US, its theoretically possible. US cars probably can't compete on price, but on quality and technology the US could become great

wall manufacturing will be first to come
