What Trump is basically trying to do is make these multinationals pay a fair price for using national resources in stead of using their enormous weight to create uneven deals, basically exploiting every country they operate in. These big Companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, etc abuse their positions of power. Positions they should not even have in well regulated free market. Anyone believing in a free world not controlled by Multinationals should be happy about this. It brings more money in the local economy and less to the global elite. But as we have been seen consistently the Neoliberals/democrats are basically pushing the multi-nationalist agenda. That is why they want to flood countries with cheap labor behind the guise human interest. If they were so interested in human rights they force these multinationals to pay decent wages in other countries as well.
Because all they do is spread exploitation. Trump is right to make them produce in the US. It is still a great injustice as these multinationals avoid paying taxes in the markets where they make their sales. It is good to force these multinationals where they land to behave more social. It does not harm the low-wage countries either. Now national producers get a chance to take over production and export to richer countries, and that money earned benefits those country. Because multinationals steal from all countries.
Shame on you you democrats. You help no one, only create endless silly melodramatic sideshows about gay rights and that kind of stuff. Like homosexuals are the great victims of society. They generally live a hedonistic lifestyle, have more then average income, and have no kids to support. But these cry babies have been promoted to democratic proof of social interest.
Who do you want to fool? Politics is about fair distribution of income for people in the country, and multinationals should not even have the benefits as national companies. They are the same exploitation rackets that set up the colonies and used slavery to make maximum profit. Of course they want politicians to talk about gays and abortion, that keeps intention away from the real issues, that concern them.
But Trump is trying to address the issues even if has limited leverage. And you can call him a moron as much as you like, you can call his supporters retards, but more and more Americans lost confidence that democrats will ever do anything concrete. They had an excellent chance with Bernie Sanders to prove their sincerity, but in stead showed their real colors.
If the Post Office gave the same rates as other companies they would probably stick with UPS or FedEx. The Post Office does not have the best reputation after all. By lowering their price they got work that they would not otherwise get and have a chance to prove that they can do the job. The Post Office has profited from this deal. Trump is once again an idiot.
