No. Mr. Trump prefers that US manufacturers stop closing plants in the US and moving to Mexico to take advantage of  low wages and lack of regulatory standards ....... then shipping the products back to the US at the same or higher prices. This with the expectation that those effected in the US will continue to consume  what they used to build with  incomes earned in the  hard scrabble service economy that remains when manufacturing leaves town. 
Regarding the second part of your comment about turning to less desirable income means - That's like rationalizing a laid off Alberta oil worker's decision to sell illegal addictive opiates with  the decline in oil prices.
