"It's true that some of these companies are owned by French companies (at least in part) but many produce their products right here in America with American workers."

Actually, when the French company's sales decline, the unchanged demand will shift to a non-french competitor, which will logilcally be looking to hire people to help produce their product.

Americans should not labor to generate profit for our enemies.

Suppose you had been working there for 20 years and knew the french are spineless but not the new enemy, and if you got the pink slip you take a huge pay cut and lost a bunch of retirement?

Where do the profits go? French companies take their profits to france.

And where will that non-French competitor have its plants located? Could be the US or some other country. Assuming that the lost job will stay in America is without basis.
