The problem with Trump is that his intellectual message is that of a 12-year-old to his cheering crowd fantasizing a 12-year-old’s solutions to very complex situations. 

While it stuns everyone in the first minute,  it proves untenable a minute later. Why are millions of illegal immigrants in the US? Because they are in high demand by businesses, from the agro business to the homeowners landscapers. 

Why are Chinese products invading the American consumers? Because they are in demand as the only available products, never mind for a good price.

Are tariffs on such products going to make America rich again, as Trump sings the song of MAGA? No, they are only going to raise the inflation rate, making foreign companies richer and impoverishing the American nation, etc, etc.

The solution?! There is no solution. At least no magic solution. A huge long depression might help restructure American economic culture. But in the short term, there is no solution.
