And did Trump have anything to do with Apples success, when Apple have publicly rejected just about anything he's said that's in any way relevant to them?

He won at a time America had lowest participation rate since the 70’s

He won *because* America had the lowest participation rate since the 70's.

I'd have expected, at the very least, for a campaign based on bringing manufacturing into the US, to actually be manufactured in the US. That's not too big an ask surely?

I've been through this process of crunching the numbers to justify a plant in a high labour cost country (not USA).

The reality is not a very labour intensive solution. That's not an easy political sell for anyone.

Trump will turn the world upside down, for the better, starting with a hard line approach on China which has been abusing goodwill for decades, undermining other economies and certainly not making markets more efficient.

In the end the US needs nothing from China that it cannot self produce or find elsewhere.

Trumps competitive nature will drive him to bring back masses of jobs and prosperity to the American citizens.

Ok the price will be a little less regulation, but as I've always argued it's far better to spread enterprise and give citizens more choice of where to work than to over regulate and cause great economic harm for the sake of idealist abstractions.

I'm diversfying our ISA portfolio into US equities and real estate.

I appreciate the irony of this post, but what has Trump done so far that has been positive? What hard line has been taken with China?

"Bring back prosperity". Yeah, because i forgot about the US for the third world country it is...

They haven't though. Ford aborted a $2 billion project in Mexico to rounds of applause. Only to announce later on that manufacturing is moving to China instead.

ahh so short lived.

Turns out that whilst Trump has kept everyone busy by being Trump, lots of civil servants have been left alone to get stuff done despite being led by Trump.

A $1.6 billion U.S.A. factory will open to manufacture cars in 2021 employing around 4000 people, to produce up to 300,000 vehicles per year.
In a joint venture between Toyota and Mazda.

They wanted good jobs and incomes back.
I suspect the masses that switched from Obama to Trump knew more about their economic lives than you do


Clinton had huge campaigning advantage with a budget far higher than Trumps, she had a fantastically well staffed and organised ground campaign and in spite of all her advantages and the almost the entire media on her side, she still lost. Because smug liberals dismissed working class lived reality. Same with Brexit.

Looks like the voting population may be having some regrets.

The US president’s approval rating has just plunged to a new low, with just 33 per cent of American voters happy with the job he is doing, according to a Quinnipiac University po

Trumps fiscal plans will sugar rush the economy. Making the fabulously wealthy, absolutely fabulous wealthy people.

Allowing US companies to repatriate profits held abroad, at a proposed 10% tax, plus a reduction in corporate taxes from 35% to 15%, will lead to a very happy middle class, as their pension plans get a rocket. All personal tax bands are promised a cut to boot.

Big savings (to big government) will be achieved by slashing green subsidies. A goodly war chest to pay for projects to buy blue collar votes for a second term........

The US can't outdo the rest of the world on cost, also they have smashed most of their industrial capacity. Going isolationist is not a viable option. Any talk of Trump teaching China a lesson, and bringing them to heel, reminds me of the successful campaign Custer waged against those pesky injuns..._
Edit, well it seems that Trump is having trouble with his sugar rushing. Lots of problems getting his promises fulfilled. Even his green cuts don't amount to a lot of money to dish out.....what next for la la land..._

What you want ain't always what you get.....had to edit original comment today..._

I've only just noticed this thread. Saw the OP's thread title and assumed it would be satirical. It made me laugh more that it wasn't. What on earth is Conrad on? I'm happy to have a glass of nice wine but hallucinogens aren't for me..

Americans have always had good jobs and incomes, they were never lost to 'get them back'. The language itself is stupid it suggests the jobs 'moved' somewhere else when in fact they did not. Some jobs disappeared due to the changing economics and technology which made america richer not poorer.

You are stupid if you think 46% of the American population that voted for trump are all on !!!! pay and have !!!! lives that need improving and that is why they voted for trump.

A lot of the votes for trump were votes for the republicans, just like in this last GE I voted not for May she was !!!! but I voted against corbyn and partly for the Tories.


The reality you ignore is that both in the UK and USA lives are good very good and that most of the problems that do exist in society are not lack of opportunity but down to personal problems like additions to gambling or alcohol or !!!! relationships/divorce. Trump is a big old fat man with nothing to offer he has some 3.5 years left come back then and tell us what has changed.
