Absolutely. I think that is very much the problem.
The immigration policies, and trade deals like NAFTA are examples of American politicians trying to screw over American workers so that America becomes less powerful. That doesn’t make sense to me, but I’ve been watching it for decades. The American government seems to hate the American people.
Trump is different. I think Trump really sees that things could be very, very different. I am 100% in favor of Trump. He may not get everything right, but it’s really clear that he is trying to build a sensible world in which the American people can prosper. I don’t think anyone has really tried that since Reagan.
The swamp has to be drained before we can move forward with sane pro US worker domestic/industrial policy. The GOP is not on board with that. AT ALL. Just look around this forum.
