How the fuck can a *Billionaire, like Trump not understand a concept as simple as Comparative Advantage?

Lets say that a US worker can produce 10 cars or 5 bags of grain & a Mexican worker can produce 2 cars or 3 bags of grain. Now, if Mexico & US work together 2 Mexican workers can stop producing cars to produce grain & 1 US worker can stop producing grain to produce cars.

Now even after Mexico trades the US, grain for cars, there is still 1 more bag of grain & 8 more cars in the world than there would otherwise be. That's why being Nationalistic & isolationistic hurts countries economically. Globalization works for a reason people!

There is a better case for free trade than the one which relies on the ambiguous concept of comparative advantage.
