Americans will flock to do backbreakiing labor in the hot sun for substandard wages!
JOBS:
Here is his major speech on jobs: "Our politicians have aggressively pursued a policy of globalization - moving our jobs, our wealth and our factories to Mexico and overseas.
Globalization has made the financial elite who donate to politicians very wealthy. But it has left millions of our workers with nothing but poverty and heartache. (note: Trump is a globalist with businesses in 22 nations and using slave labor in China, Bangladesh, Mexico, Honduras, etc).
Hillary Clinton and her friends in global finance want to scare America into thinking small - and they want to scare the American people out of voting for a better future.
My campaign has the opposite message. (Note: Trump has loans from banks in China, Russia, and US banks like Goldman Sachs, the vampire squid described by Matt Tabai in Griftopia. He is "The King of Debt" and thus, highly leveraged, highly beholden to both domestic and foreign banks)." He promises to take on China, but he owes them hundreds of millions.
He goes on to outline mercantilism and a plan for trade wars, and he has promised to bring the jobs (some of which are his) back home.
No economist think this is possible. But Trump has the solution to an impossible promise: bait and switch. Feed the fantasy and deliver a few thousand jobs (but not his own slaves).
The Switch:
He is now saying he will keep jobs from leaving (forgetting about the 50,000 factories which have moved abroad and his own use of slave labor in many nations), and his first case of "saving jobs" was done by using taxpayer money to bribe corporation to keep the jobs at home. He also promised Carrier lucrative defense contracts. This is exactly how Hitler wooed the defense industry in Nazi Germany: will give you lucrative contracts and supply you slave labor. This sets ups a process by which public funds are given away to any corporation which threatenes to move to Mexico or any other cheap labor market. It allows rich corporations to extort public funds with nothing more than threats. Trump is indeed helping his friends.
This is a new twist on the neo-lib plan of transferring all public wealth into private pockets, enforced by the threat of sending US jobs abroad.
The bait and switch is complete: those sending jobs abroad will face stiff penalties setting off a trade war which would hurt US business most of all: US corporations export 200 billion a year to Mexico, and US car makers sell a million cars a year in China. All this business would be crippled by trade wars. It is also a total destruction of "free markets" which Trump has promised.
Those who threaten to leave will be given billions in taxpayer gifts to end the threat. We will pay, but no offshored jobs are even being discussed anymore: the fantasy did its purpose...and now comes the economic collapse, the loss of jobs in the trade war Trump promised.
The total result will be economic chaos, collapse, and recession, with US jobs lost by losing export business.
