If Trump understands nothing about economics then it was luck how he created his company and fortune. In the meantime I have to assume with your great knowledge of economics you have not fared as well.
“Free trade” destroyed our industries and jobs because it was not really free trade. We played one way and other countries played by their rules. The only winners were international corporations and financial related businesses. Combined with mergers in the US they all became too big to fail and the owners of the political establishment on both sides.

It appears that when it comes to building his little empire, Trump has understood mostly how to use crony capitalism, manipulation of the bankruptcy laws, bribes to politicians and abuse of eminent domain. Such tools are anathema to the kind of free market policy that has made the USA prosper.
Trump is a false prophet, who fails to demonstrate any genuine understanding of the important factors that have made America great. Does he really not understand? Or is he just a demagogue? Beats me. But I know he’s not the man we need at this perilous hour in the nation’s history.
Trump? Luck?
Yes, maybe because he inherited it. And he certainly understands real estate and casinos and how to run over minority shareholders in a bankruptcy action. But not much else.
Assume anything you want about me, I’m talking about Trump. Which has nothing to do with me or anyone else.
I’m sorry that you don’t understand how many US jobs trade has created over the last few decades. You seem to have a very foggy understanding of the US economy.
Something along the lines of “They took our jobs!” straight out of South Park. You actually sound like a natural supporter of Bernie. Those international corporations are all very evil, you know.
