- he could push for lower corporate tax rate, making it less desirable to setup shop overseas...
- he could push for tax amnesty for funds stored overseas, then suddenly the Trillions of $$ stored overseas would move back to the US where it could help the US economy, not the economy of other countries...
- he could push for higher military spending for not just the US, but whole NATO, and since US is a major arms exporter that would result in less wealth in other countries, and possibly more in the US...
etc
clearly, all these policies would hurt other countries, while having potential to help the US...
