It has been almost a month since Donald Trump has been declared as the president elect. And he has won because of his populist protectionist policies on trade, jobs and most important thing according to the media THE WALL(during the election campaigns, now they are more on to his campaign picks) some people call it immigration. Then there is climate change and don't worry your guns and second amendment are safe.
Since WWII there has been consensus among the US and Western European countries that only way to prevent wars was having more trade among nations. If countries trade more (especially with their neighbor) they will be more dependent on each other well being and war will be last thought on their heads as there will be Mutually Assured Economic Destruction as budget deficits will be high and trade deficits will be down, which leads to job losses and high inflation. This has worked well till now (with some exceptions).
Trump’s withdrawal from TPP will beneficial for China as they were kept out of TPP. And China opposed TPP as it would have made its exports to the US less competitive against other countries that are in the TPP. Inflation will sky rocket if import taxes is as high as 35% as inflation is artificially kept low by importing cheap goods and shipping off US Dollars to other countries. Also the petrodollar arrangement of the US will be serious jeopardy if other countries cannot export to US as there won’t any fresh US Dollar so how are they going to buy Crude Oil.
Trump needs to reduce taxes and regulation if hopes to protect jobs in the US. Bullying corporations is not a long term strategy. American growth in its golden years was because of its low taxes and almost nil regulation. I’m not saying no regulation is good but US is over regulated. He can offer near zero tax only if they invest in ways which there will be more jobs. Like bring $1Billon spend half to set up a factory which has some set number of jobs and then they can have rest tax free.
THE WALL is difficult to achieve let it be in the GOT universe. It’s too costly that money has better purposes. But illegal immigration has to be stopped as it hurts legal immigrants the most and also what is the use of a border if people can just come in. Especially if these people don’t join the mainstream culture of their host countries and sometimes not even learning the language. But since most of the illegal immigrants come by air and over stay visa I don’t know how to get rid of them other than deporting them as soon as they are caught.
My dear climate change deniers. Okay there may be some differences among us that climate change is caused by human activities. But I think we can agree that releasing toxic substances to the air and water has bad effect on all people and every other living organism on the planet. So please don’t dismantle all of Obama’s climate change legislation's.
Last note: President elect Trump do protect nation along with guns and Make America Great Again.
