Just watched a program on Donald Trump. Getting past the egocentric part of the man. There seems to be a hypocritical approach to his campaign.
He became rich by using illegal migrants to built his hotels, he most certainly employs them today. He has used every opportunity to get rich at the expense of others and now claims he will make the US great again. Which begs the question. Who, why, when and how did the Number One Nation in the World, become not so great and will slip behind an once Third World Country, if it hasn't already?
1972 Nixon visit to China was the beginning.
Free Trade Agreements
The result of these deals is seen here.
U.S., China Make Progress Toward Trade and Investment Deal.
The reason for the decline of the US was big business exporting jobs and importing cheap labour. While big businesses decided a tax haven was a better place to place their HQs. Big business could have shut down jobs for illegal migrants in an instant, they didn't.
So the representative of the problem, and part of the problem, is going to solve the problems by destroying what has made the him and the rich far richer.
He will build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. How and why wasn't it built 20 years ago?
He will block imports from China. So what about the rest of the Third World and how will that effect to profits and earnings of the people he rents hotel rooms to? This is the loophole the poor don't see. A huge part of his wealth is based on him selling to the 1%, if he does what he plans, he will make them poorer and by doing so, himself far poorer. He's so reliant on the 1%, he's as much in their pocket as the politicians we now have.
If he blocks Muslims, does that mean the Muslim billionaires he does business with, or maybe they won't do business with him.
