re: #158 wheat-dogg

They’re dreaming. America is no longer positioned to be an exporter of manufactured consumer goods like clothing, shoes, and household bric-a-brac.

My thought exactly. Roosevelt fought hard to enter WWII and had failed until the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.

Trump is exhibit A on both counts.

Trump family businesses run manufacturing overseas to make their clothing. They chose that route instead of doing production domestically. Why? Because they wanted higher profits to themselves, even if they were positioning themselves as a luxury brand that could command higher prices from being produced stateside.

Trump is a craven opportunist who will lie and mischaracterize policy and positions. It’s what he’s good at.
