Huh? Trump would of course run his own business to maximize profits. As President of the United States, his job is not to maximize corporate profits. Efficiency is not the end game. We don't want a country of elites and peasants, even if it's most efficient.

false choice. Very Obama like to offer false choices. ... and my point w/ Trump & how he runs his business is to point out that there's nothing wrong w/ trying to max corp profits. It's how business thrive and compete and stick around.

I don't understand what you mean. There is nothing wrong w/trying to maximize corporate proifts. All businesses should do that. But Trump is no longer a businessman. He's President. As President, his role is to improve life of U.S. citizens, not to maximize stock market profits

That was his point in CNBC interview (which was so good that the media didn't watch it). The stock market COULD be up 80%, not 40% if Trump wasn't challenging China. But his goal is to improve life for U.S. citizens - hence trade and immigration policies that benefit middle class

I don't pay for WaPo, but I have little sympathy for Big Ag. They are not the small time farmers of our imagination. The U.S. must have jobs for the part of the population that can't be doctors, lawyers or accountants. And those jobs can't just be McD's... people have pride

We just have basic disagreements about this. But as always, you argue well.

I care about our fellow citizens. Through our immigration and trade policies, the elites have screwed everyone out of having a country. A place where it's safe to go to park anytime; enjoyable to go to zoo or theater. Most Americans no longer have that. And for what? Cheap labor.
