“How much has Trump invested overseas? I’d wager its hundreds of millions that he chose to invest overseas, creating jobs overseas, rather than invest in the US.”

You’ve got to be kidding. You’re faulting a businessman for making investments in other countries? Do you think that’s the same thing as relocating a manufacturing facility to a foreign country? You think building a hotel in Dubai or owning a casino in Macau is anti-American?

If people don’t invest in the U.S. it’s because the potential return isn’t worth the assumed risks. Period. The culprit, btw, is onerous regulations, high taxes, and a hostile legal environment.

yes

No difference, both are sending jobs and money overseas.

In all these years did Trump ever push for a reduction in the regulations?

One of the catch 22's of conservatism. Economic freedom to run your business and invest where it is most profitable is good. Economic freedom to run your business and invest where it is most profitable is bad, if you eliminate American jobs.
