American business appears to have less faith in Trump than Trump supporters do. Besides, if someone else can do something better and/or cheaper...the smart business decision is to let them do that, and find a way to profit from it, or find something else to do. Expecting the government to go protectionist to keep your steam engine service and repair business going is.....well, un-american, I thought? To put it another way, the money we spend fighting battles we can't win is money we could have spent fighting battles that we -could-.
Those factory jobs every candidate promises to bring back/keep at home? They're gone. They're never coming back. They won't even -exist- in a decades time. Shouldn't we move on to bigger, better things? The sooner we can accept that fact, the sooner we'll be able to find that "better thing" in earnest.
The smart business decision is 100% to lay off american workers, ship the factory to Malaysia, and then hire a staffing agency over there to fill the factory with child slave labor. I agree 100% that that's the way to go from a business stand point. But I don't like it and would prefer to see the system changed as much as possible.
