Trump's Tariffs Have Led to Layoffs at U.S. Manufacturers

7. Is what he is doing any different from what Bernie proposed?

Wasn't Clinton running against two people who were proposing the same solution to our trade deficient? Bernie was for the repeal of NAFTA and against the huge Transpacific Trade Agreement? Wasn't he for tariffs? I didn't hear him talk about reexamination and adjustment of what needed correction. I will agree that Hilary didn't do a very good job of courting the working class vote. But neither did she mislead them. I agree that we should have gone after China big time. But it should have been with the allegiance of our allies. We don't know if Trump is a Russian agent or a misguided screwball, but we do know that he is undermining NATO and all of our allies.

I remember when Michael Moore said after Bernie entered that race that Trump would be elected president. He is now saying that Trump will win reelection. He hopes not, but that is his prediction. Both were promising to turn back the clock and the factories would be hiring millions. I didn't hear from Trump or Sanders the fact that 85% the loss of jobs is attributable to automation. Well Bernie didn't waste any time cancelling his membership in the Democratic Party. I sure as hell haven't seen him out on the campaign trail supporting Democrats or attending fund raisers. Yeah, I know all about the fact he votes with the Democrats. Then why in hell doesn't he support the party? I am open to all criticism. I just don't get it.
