The last ignorant cowboy, who jumped into a region that he didn't understand, created ISIS. Iraq was NOT a security risk for the USA under Saddam. Now it is a nest packed with assorted terrorists.
Trump has not told us how he will return manufacturing jobs back to the USA. There is "in sourcing" occurring, but unless one is involved at some level in robotics, you aren't going to get a job.
Unless Trump plans to become a communist, just screaming demands isn't going to determine what corporations do. Make the USA less attractive and they will OUTSOURCE even more jobs. Even liberal economists say this.
Increased tariffs on imports leads to trade war. US exports, already under pressure by global stagnation, and a strong US dollar, will be impacted when countries also place tariffs against US products.
US corporations will then be forced to locate production in these markets in order to compete with other manufacturers. In addition Boeing will lose orders to Airbus. Boeing is one of the US' largest exporters.
Trump is screaming, and hasn't done any serious work to address this problem.
