" In the Trump Era ..."

P U L E E Z E ..... :
Mr. Trump is not yet president - and whatever he tweets for public consumption by the sheeple and media succubi is mostly unrelated to reality excepting free publicity.  Instead of "trade" shall we please focus of the $$$ network that drives our global infrastructure. The economic powers behind the scene are who determine where profits ( and taxes ) are taken. The US Congress and Senate will see to it that Trump doesn't go overboard - they managed to limit Obama's enthusiasms quite nicely.

A far deeper issue is the unintended consequences of transfering STEM and manufacturing knowhow, financed by consumers lining up for the "cheapest" whatever. Somehow this feedback loop needs to be publicised effectively. We do after all vote with our money, never mind the usual election circuses and political hacks posturing as responsible candidates to exercise governance.
