You're blaming the president for screwing us over when in reality it was congress screwing us over all this time. Americans continue to get this wrong. It's their own elected officials who are screwing them over. More importantly, it's the elected officials in the less populous states who are the ones doing it because there is no consequence for them doing it.

Foxconn won't leave China? So stop using FoxConn. Stick it to the Chinese immediately. Let the trade wars begin. Let's face the facts here. China is out to destroy the US either economically or possibly militarily at some point down the road. If we just keep letting China benefit 2-10x more than we do, they keep getting bigger and we keep becoming more irrelevant. They catch up with us by stealing our secrets and we act like that's OK. We don't want to lose that massive trade deficit we have with them, after all. It might hurt some of largest corporations, including Apple. Oh, that's right. I don't give a crap about Corporate Welfare. Corporations have ruined this country through lobbying (aka BRIBING), putting their interests ahead of the American citizens and especially the middle class workers. Economists only look at the total trade numbers. They don't ask whether anyone but the top 1% receive ANY of that money. That's why their views are irrelevant. The other 99% don't give a crap if the top 1% made more money. They don't "trickle" down at all. They hold it in until their bladders explode because they're GREEDY.
Imagine if we did enter a real war with China. Our soldiers can run around naked, I guess since we've moved so much clothing to China (better make better deals with Central America). A country that doesn't make anything will eventually suffer big time in a war due to not having those things. Look at North Korea. Most of the populace suffers continually because they don't have most goods and their leader only cares about his own fat belly. We used to be self-sufficient here. States could trade among themselves. They didn't need China to make their existence worthwhile. We've become dependent on out-sourcing our jobs to cheaper countries. Don't fool yourselves, though. Prices wouldn't go up as much as these companies want you to believe and that's because they pocketed most of the new profits rather passing them on to consumers!
