Je ne sais pas pourquoi la plupart des Québécois ''progressistes'' (et les médias) sont contre Trump et ses idées ...comme si s'affirmer et ëtre identitaires devenaient une tare , mettre les points sur les i devenaient un défaut .
La planête arrive à la croisée du chemin car on ne peut continuer à marcher sur la clôture .
The only thing that guy's gonna rock is bottom.
Guys.
Donald Trump talks big. And that's it.
Just like when he tells Ford that if they build their cars in Mexico, he'll put a 35% tariff on them. Doesn't that sound great for the little guy who casts his ballot, but think about it for 2 seconds.
Tons of sh!t in that car are not made in the US of A. If everything was, it would cost people $180,000 for a Fiesta because American union workers are paid a fortune and build quality certainly isn't a biproduct. Something's gotta go, and automakers know damn well they're not going to force the unions to cut manual labor salaries enough to continue making a profit on a car they need to sell for $15k and keep up with ever stricter safety and emissions standards.
The moment you force all companies to 'keep it American' is the day all those companies go under because no one wants to pay that much for an all-America product, which isn't even that much (if any) better than a Chinese-made one. The Chinese are becoming more and more competitive. Americans certainly are not.
Fixing your problem at the source = actually finding the real source of the problem
Trump = telling people what they want to hear
I'm invoking Godwin's law. Inb4 stupid liberals misread my comments.
Did Hitler invent the V2 rocket, or the jet plane, build the autobahn or do anything for that matter himself. Fuck no. What did he do, he galvanised the German people at a time of depression. He got his nation off their backsides by being outspoken and inspiring. That in turn got men and women to go the extra mile to do amazing things.
I'll be the first to say however that those inspiring words were also used in a bad way and things went off the rails when they started vilifying the jews and killing them off. But the biggest difference and why I can sleep at night is the good old Second amendment. I know that if Trump ever did go nuts he'd be off'd by the american people before the sun rose the next day.
So to resume so my words are not too misconstrued:
Trump himself will do fuck all if he becomes president, his only triumph will be galvanizing the American people to fix their own problems. If he starts vilifying (insert ethnic group here) I have faith that he'll quickly be stopped and at the end of the day if the american people give up after a few months like a fat person on a diet, his presidency will be a complete failure.
Regarding your car example, you fail to acknowledge the downwards death spiral it creates. It starts off that the company can make a few more percent by outsourcing "x", so they do and let 100 people go. Of those 100 people maybe 30 would buy their car but no longer can because they're out of a job. Profits are down so to please the investors they outsource function "y" and trim the fat by laying off 1000 people..... see where this is going. At the end of the day if Americans are sending money out of the country they will slowly cannibalize themselves into nothing. You don't need cheaper goods if everyone has a good paying job, but you do need cheaper good if you keep firing people.
By keeping an American company alive, you may have to sacrifice a few hundred jobs to keep several thousand. You certainly can't make everything in-house, as great as that would be.

Trump parle fort, mais il ne fait pas de la politique seul. Il a certainement du caractère, mais cela ne va pas lui permettre d'imposer des politiques quand les autres parties ne sont pas derrière lui.
Heureusement, nous vivons dans une démocratie et non une dictature si cela peu vous consoler.
