If your area is rightly mad about Fruit of the Loom moving jobs out of the country, why would they support someone who mad all his clothing manufactured in China, Bangladesh, and Mexico?
I am in no way defending Trump or supporting him just stating what I am hearing. I have had to explain this to my children and my sister who lives in Atlanta.
"Free trade" is just a euphemism for selling out your manufacturing base. Trump correctly defines that our leaders are either stupid, incompetent, crooked, or all 3 and cannot negotiate trade deals which will benefit the country.
It’s rather comical to watch folks who support guy who may have created tens jobs in his life, talk down a guy who has created over 22,500 of them.
Ted doesn’t know the first thing about creating jobs. He doesn’t know about government regulations and how they impact the workplace.
Ted is another clueless Washington insider who tells everyone he has all the solutions when he doesn’t even know what the equation is.
By the early 20th century, the industry in the developed world often involved immigrants in “sweat shops”, which were usually legal but were sometimes illegally operated. They employed people in crowded conditions, working manual sewing machines, and being paid less than a living wage. This trend worsened due to attempts to protect existing industries which were being challenged by developing countries in South East Asia, the Indian subcontinent and Central America. Although globalization saw the manufacturing largely outsourced to overseas labor markets, there has been a trend for the areas historically associated with the trade to shift focus to the more white collar associated industries of fashion design, fashion modeling and retail. Areas historically involved heavily in the “rag trade” include London and Milan in Europe, and the SoHo district in New York City.
By the late 1980s, the apparel segment was no longer the largest market for fibre products, with industrial and home furnishings together representing a larger proportion of the fibre market.[19] Industry integration and global manufacturing led to many small firms closing for good during the 1970s and 1980s in the United States; during those decades, 95 percent of the looms in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia shut down, and Alabama and Virginia also saw many factories close.
