He has a large ego, but he also has enough money to say whatever he wants to in politics, no other politician has that luxury.

Trump and other rich people own the politicians so there's no need to run for office to get even richer, that speculation doesn't cut it.
Trump's plan on economic tariffs would cost the rich trillions in profits, so he's not representing their interests with his rhetoric. Trump is a enough of an egotistic madman to fuck over the very rich in this country, he doesn't give a fuck.

So because his clothing line makes ties in China, his ideas on tariffs are empty rhetoric?

At least he's talking about the right things, what has Obama said about globalization the past 8 years? He says it's a basic fact of life and deal with it, that's unacceptable.

It's always sweat shops and slave labor with you, isn't it?
If you can come up with other valid reasons why China is cheaper, please share.

hostileuniverse said: How about reducing the burden of taxation on a business? That would certainly help, would it not?
No, because a foreign corporation engaged in a US trade or business is taxed at regular US corporate tax rates on income from US sources. Additionally, many Chinese goods are subject to import duties (which may go away if we implement TPP).
So no, taxation is not a factor. Once again, how can Trump manufacture things cheaper in the US, if not by eliminating decent working conditions or wages?
It's called tariffs, the US doesn't have to "manufacture things cheaper" than China, just cheaper after a 35-40% tariff!!

Deporting illegals and putting up tariffs benefits the low-skilled workers the most, so blacks and Hispanics would see the largest improvement on standard of living.

Positive racism. Assuming they're all poor, but wishing they could do better.
Beautiful

Obama whined about racism everyday as he fucked over his own people, Trump will actually help minorities.
