In my profession I see it all of the time; Grandstanding loudmouths who create problems so they can later fix them and come out of it smelling of roses. The sad part is that it works.

Both side of the aisle dug Globalization which is why American manufacturing jobs fled our borders. Even if Trump and both parties all working together won't be bringing those jobs back home. Semiskilled labor is now a worldwide commodity.

They didn't "flee", they relocated by their own volition seeking greener pastures. No one told them they HAD to leave.

Also, what you just described is exactly what the working class folks who voted for Trump expect him to do.......... Give them their high paying jobs back.

Fun times ahead, my friend.

No big deal. Melania is a rental anyway. He'll trade her in for something younger if she gets uppity or gains weight.

Higher labor rates, which worked when laborers could be customers for their products.
