Trump should rather boldly say that “If you want to sell your products here, in our market, you should make your products here, in our market. Otherwise, you should pay extra for the *privilege* to sell in our market.”
This would make a whole bunch of multinational corporations poop themselves.
Trump could easily win a lot of support by capitalizing on Americans who’ve lost their jobs and homes and retirement to entire industries being shipped overseas. That and we are THE biggest consumer market on the planet, not to mention the most powerful military even after 20 years of Democratic sabotage. It darn well should be a privilege to sell to us instead of our nation being hobbled and a sucker economy.
It would also defuse a big ticking bomb. A lot of people are getting pi$$ed off at being ‘rightsized’, outsourced, and generally screwed over by big business who they can’t really influence except on rare occasions. There are only two endgames: they support socialism as a massive payback or they get behind someone who turns the tables on what capitalism we have left. If he doesn’t get the second option going I guarantee the first will happen.
