You have to understand trumps frame of reference is in the 60s and 70s. During that time frame, the US was beginning to transition from a manufacturing economy to a more service based economy. There was a huge backlash at that time at the loss of manufacturing jobs to cheaper overseas labor. This was often cited as a trade deficit, and you saw things like "Made in America" take off. Unfortunately, trump, never having worked a day in his life, didn't really understand this beyond "trade deficit bad" and , not being a lifelong learner, has held that belief for 50 some odd years. Furthermore, he doesn't understand that we are a nation of consumers, I'm fairly certain the largest consumers per caps in the world. We have neither the capacity nor desire to meet the demands of our gluttony, including within many sectors of own economy. This also explains his failure and, the failure of his simpleton base, to understand why migrant labor is essential in propping up our agricultural sector. Well, that, and racism.
