In a major speech on trade, GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump announced a seven-point plan on bringing back jobs to America, while hammering his general election rival Hillary Clinton on promoting a globalist trade policy that has pushed manufacturing jobs overseas.
“Our politicians have aggressively pursued a policy of globalization that has moved our jobs, our wealth and our factories to Mexico and overseas,” Trump said, giving his prepared remarks called “How To Make America Wealthy Again” in Western Pennsylvania. “The people who rigged the system are supporting Hillary Clinton because they know as long as she is in charge nothing will ever change.”
Trump added, “Globalization has made the financial elite who donates to politicians very wealthy but has left millions of our workers with nothing but poverty and heartache.”

Does this mean his hideous ties are going to be made here in the United States?
I would say he is blowing hot air. You can not bring back manufacturing jobs back because Americans cost to much and companies would never be able to compete so they would simply close. The fact is we are still the second largest exporter in the World. A trade war would be devastating to the US. Their is a reason that the nations that most people will not trade with end up the poorest and most backward.
"we will have to leave borders behind and go for global unity."

Globalism is socialism.
Imagine a group of people that have driven business out of one country pushing a scheme to go to other countries to recoup the money they ran out the first time.
Rinse and repeat, and what you end up with is BREXIT.
Well, the question is:
Does Trump really mean what he says?

You have no idea what socialism means do you? Companies move because labor becomes to expensive as a nation moves from a industrial manufacturing nation into a modern economy. This is the very ideal of capitalism. In socialism those companies could never leave.
