What USA re-industrialisation under Trump will mean for Africa

[hk]

So Germany can have a strong industrial base but America cant come up with one? 10yrs ago who would have thought fracking would create all those jobs and actually make america almost energy independent.

As they worry about bringing back industrial jobs from China; service jobs are going to move overseas to India and other English speaking countries thanks to tech revolution going on. What Trump can do is to rebuild US infrastructure and employ many people there - building walls, roads, bridges, rails and that kind of work.This is what Trump is actually good in..building real stuff.

Trump has called his bring job back to America a Victory and is taking a victory lap in Indiana after saving merely 800 jobs. It is all a con. The reality is that those jobs of moving a sock off the conveyor belt are long gone

Better training programs???You currently have most people with college degrees and master in America competing for lower wage-paying Jobs like Wall mart or fast-food restaurants. Where are jobs gonna come from for people you saying to be better trained if the better trained currently don't have jobs. Artificial Intelligence and Robots are taking better paying jobs too. Prepare for the world of the HAVE and HAVE NOT. The New World Order is here

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

I sense a bit of that too.  Trump is as sad a character as any that has occupied the White House.  The country will be the worse for it.  The appointments are shambolic.  EPA secretary, denies climate change.  Energy Secretary, would have loved to eliminate the department he is to head.  Secretary of Labor, hates the idea of benefits and minimum pay.  Secretary of State is in Putin's pockets....and it goes on.

I think Trump understand the biggest competitor to USA is going to be Chinaman. He is trying to win Russia in war against Chinese world domination.

Russia seems to be having the last laugh going by political happenings in the West. I expect the Ukraine and Syria affairs to be settled amicably in Moscow's favor under Trump.

Trump's presidency could well be "great" for the legacy of America's first black president.  All the haters and whiners and other ingrates (in America and elsewhere) might finally appreciate the kind of person he is and his achievements---after starting with the 2008 economic disaster, the misguided adventures in places like Iraq, and a generally chaotic world.   

[Omollo]

I agree with MoonKi 100%

I have to confess that the day I heard Chelsea Clinton denouncing Obamacare followed by her father's diatribe against it is the day I "withdrew" from the poll. I could see the only reason why I could strongly support Hillary being thrown out through the garbage chute.  It no longer mattered if either of the two bozos won.

I also firmly believed that Hillary would have pandered to the right wing whackos. The sort of endorsements she was getting nauseated me

Not only great for Obama but for he who started all the mess Obama had to clean up:
