The last private industrialist who held the office of President was Herbert Hoover. The great engineer who gained his introduction into goverment service by serving under Wilson’s heading european food distribution program he set up after WWI. I believe both the Hoover Dam and the Goldengate bridge were instituted during his administration. But so were protectionest tariffs which Trump advocates. Even GWB tried to protect our steel manufacturing base employing the same tactic and was forced to recind those protectionist tariffs.
What we should be doing is protecting our intellectual base and refuse to permit goods and services developed here through the patent/copyright process which are superior which can be internationally in demand stay here to be manufactured here.That includes drugs, electronics, specialised manufactured products. In addition we have basic comodities iron, coal, oil gas, we could be selling halted by government EPA policies.
About Mr Trump. The conduct of this election as evidenced by those so called debates which were reduced to cage matches. Where discourse on the direction of where and how these candidates would lead US is completely absent .In fact if one asks Trump supporters exactly what Trump will do ? They could not tell you . Because he has not done so in any specific way .His use of this rhetoric gets any discourse on the issues to be avoided,and from even being approached. It is designed to lead into confrontation and get his name out there which it does unfortunately .
You might want to peruse his website for some specifics.
My experience as a longtime businessperson has been fleshing out and explaining many of his concepts on FR, only to be dismissed, told I'm a hater, or ridiculed about stuff I know like the back of my hand. There is no perfect candidate. Republicans stood by and watched when Palin was trashed over what were basically personality issues, and all her talent for "calling it" and reforming government went by the wayside. I'd hate to see another situation where one of the most talented men on offer for this job was sidelined due to personality issues. The skills he has that are very much needed are too important to our survival to let that happen again.
After being bullied by the WTO and EU. He was threatened with political retaliation that would impact him in key marginal states.
Bush interests tend to trump US interests.
