What does one expect from a Trump campaign manager ?

This "we have lost xyz jobs to xyz" is just nonsense. We had the same discussion here in Germany 1-2 decades ago.

What does one expect ? That China/India stays for ever poor, we buy raw materials from them and pay some development assistance to them for ever ?

I more than puzzled that some conservatives in the US have forgotten how free markets work, how trade between two countries make both rich, which is described in "The Wealth of Nations" of Adam Smith.

The current issue in the US and elsewhere is that the society does not adapt. Work comes and go - you have to adapt..you have to educate your current and future workforce to new things. I guess I refered the MIT book "The second machine age" couple of times. The strength of the US in the past was that it was capable to quickly adapt to a new environment. This seems to be lost. Corona is another "proof" for this.

Going back like Trumps agenda has never worked in history and btw is going back the spirit of the DNA in your country ?

I do not claim that Biden is (much) better here...which worries me even more...
