      One thing people didn't pay attention to is that one of the few issues Trump has been consistent on for decades is strong protectionism.https://twitter.com/blakehounshell/status/811769281339912192 …

      The unknown of protectionism is GOP politics. Will GOP & corporate class go along because protectionism offset by tax cuts & de-regulation.

      Serious question: is the business elite ready for a return to protectionism? Or do they think Trump won't act on his words?

          You're assuming the "business elite" is indivisible. Some would benefit from protectionism, some not.

          They think he won't act on his words. They're betting they've co-opted him entirely.

          I think it's a case of personal gain (tax breaks!) outweighing business concerns.

          Congress is ready, willing, and able to deliver tax cuts. Protectism? I doubt it.

          Biz elite I think will find they have fairly little traction w/ Rump, and esp with Bannon. Tectonic shifts coming, biz unprepared.

          Really. Look at N.C. IBM just tweeted out their deep disappointment over HB2. Do you think the GOP cares? I don't. Not any more.

          This person has assembled a cabinet of people who can sponsor an entire new "GOP". They don't care.

          Import tariffs on China ==> Prices at Wal-Mart go way up. Are Trump supporters ready for that?

          Best case scenario, protectionism restores some job security for white WC in western world. 3rd world slide back into destitution.
