As an investor in American companies, I am seriously worried about our products losing overseas markets.     It would be brutal to the agricultural industry, It would be destructive to advanced manufacturing, it could stiffle our growth in technology and communication.     If that happens prices collapse, jobs are lost, transformation turns to recession.    

I don't see why the President would pick a fight with countries that he wants to negotiate with.     I wouldn't want to deal with a nation, not even the United States, that says they are out to steal you wallet.    The Presidents posture on trade shouldn't get support from anybody in the business world.   

It will take high wage jobs in growth industries that sell products internationally and turn them to subsistace service work.
