The ship has sailed on global trade and going isolationist is just a bad idea.
Trump is like a GM trying to rebuild a last place team. He's trying to undo all the bad deals where American got 'ripped' off. But it's not sports, alot of those deals, yeah on paper look like losses, but American was about nation building, spreading wealth and democracy around the world so it wasn't all about dollars and cents. That's over now.
Could it be good for American's bottom line? Perhaps. But their reputation around the world is sunk. Will China be the new global philanthropist? it's an opportunity but they're quite insular.
This is the path this party campaigned on and will act upon. What do the Democrats do? Kinda just sit there and hope it doesn't work?
