Also I don't know if anyone has ever pointed this out to you: mercantilism is DEAD.
If a Walmart worker can get a factory jobs instead his income goes up.
Tell Xi mercantilism is dead. And no, it is a simply fact you cannot get anything for free. If you buy 300 million worth of stuff and sell 100 million that 200 million has to come from somewhere.
Nothing in life is free.
You're assuming there will be a factory job for that Walmart worker. I don't know why you're assuming that. Trump doesn't actually give a shit about the working class. He lied about being able to bring $30/hour with benefits assembly line jobs back.
