And let me add. This isn't just America, but global. It is a utopia idea to think one can end global trade, and it is insane for 45 to suggest isolationism with his bullshit "America 1rst". We did that after WW1 and waited forever until forced into WW2. His real reason is to pander to bigots and fear. his real reason is his dad bullied him and he mistook that for love and has grown to see authoritarians as to be admired.
Global trade has to exist for the very real reason that our planet's population is so big now that we are far more interconnected than we were 200 years ago, much less 2000 years ago. But what has to stop globally if the world wants more stability, are 62 uber billionaire families that have the combined wealth of 3 billion. After a certain amount, sitting on way more than you need becomes counter productive.
And again, none of what I said is advocating the end of private business. Just a shift in attitude, an appeal to the top to understand what they do affects everyone and they cant simply use "fuck you I got mine".
