Trump has promised to bring industry to USA and rejuvenate existing industries.

He will also likely to reintroduce trade protectionism.

Africa and most developing world is also theoretically on a similar quest.

Those are economic impossibilities. What he needs to do is create better training programs for the displaced workers.

Who believed him in the first place? Ati bring back steel industry to the Rust Belt That he can tell it to the birds.

Soon his voters will realize it was just talk. There is no industry coming back, ever...
Protectionism will only make things worse.
He plans to give Europe preference than Asia. But Asia is the next super region!!

Those jobs are not coming back.  The guys who voted for him in the hope that they will be manufacturing plastic cups and living a middle class life are in for a shock.

Obama had it right with his pivot to Asia.  The economy is just starting to buy into that and voila, a pampered red neck is given the reins.  George W redux but ten times more unpredictable.

His supporters knows the jobs are not coming back.  All he has to do is repeal Obamacare, cut taxes for the rich, appoint conservatives to the supreme court and restrict immigration as much as he can, then they will be happy.

I think its worth a try. Americans clearly have realized that low wage restaurant jobs created by obama is no solution while wallstreet gambling is not good.

How has germany managed to progress without losing industry to china?

[Kichwa]

He definitely has the mandate to give it a shot but I do not think they will blame him if he does not succeed.

If they try to repeal ACA they'll be in shock. They will fix it so that one is able to buy insurance anywhere in USA.

Whom will they blame since he will not suceed, the Muslims or the Chinese?

Insurance companies wont allow it. I have heard about allowing this for eons

Trump is the quintessential vacuum cleaner salesman.

[Georgesoros]

But never say it can't be done. We said he will never win but look what happened. Obamacare will be tweaked and left alone.

Red necks have historically voted against their interests and this election is no exception.  They are happy to settle for what they perceive as cultural victories over the other, even those of a Pyrrhic nature.

My real worry with Trump are the usual Republican agendas.  Especially denial of science and climate change, over the top military spending and of course a bellicose foreign policy.

Healthcare costs seem doomed to continue skyrocketing until America wakes up from its obsession with market solutions for everything.

If you think America will get steel manufacturing jobs etc on a scale of 1900s, you are still on coolaide. You will never see them in Japan,  Europe either. Those will shift to Africa in the next 20.

I'm very skeptical. However, he's a billionaire. He isn't like any of the other spoilt entitled Republicans. Maybe he can turn infrastructure/ industries around in America. I can only think of one way he could and that's science and advanced tech AI industries.

Agreed. High tech jobs will be the answer, but the people who voted for him are high school dropouts!! Truck drivers - I saw Google came up with a truck that can do self delivery . Plumbers - With the invention of recent tech who needs a plumber .
These people have No high tech skills.
Republicans and science down match.
