redblack: Not much to say here. Most of us Trump supporters are putting on our boots on and going back to work making stuff again. Yes, you will be paying more for many of your consumer goods that were previously made by foreign “slave” labor, so the days of cheap throw-away crap from Target and Walmart may soon be gone (at lease until we build enough robots).
Trump did not run on a policy of “cheap labor” or unmitigated trade with countries of lesser human rights concerns–so his stance on protectionist tariffs and market intervention is no surprise. It’s the same sort of thinking Republicans were doing a century ago to preserve economic diversity and proliferate wide spread prosperity with antitrust measures. Government-refereed free and fair markets is fine with us lowly conservatives.
There seems to be some confusion by the left that the GOP won this election on their usual platform. They didn’t. Trump won it on rejecting both the GOP and DNC globalist policies. The GOP had no choice but to just go along for the ride (kicking an screaming all the way).
Now that we have a business-minded leader in charge of the economy, experienced generals in charge of national security, and constitutional supreme court justices on the way, there is not much to talk about. I just hope enough people figure out that this is really a good thing for America, the people of the world and the planet.
