Every day since he announced his presidential aspirations he talked of unfair trade deals, onerous trade deficits, 'China', 'NAFTA' and, of course, how he'll correct all this starting with tariffs. There were no secrets from Trump about his business, economic, and trade agenda if elected.
The USA rewarded him with his election; the Wall Street crowd approved too by the historic leap to 25,000 in the Dow and all-time record highs in NASDAQ, plus, Main Street also approved of Trump and his economic and 'trade' policies.
There's record low unemployment levels, record high job creation and most of all, lower taxes for corporations and individuals, plus capital goods spending by corporations are at historic, record levels.
The 'trade', economic and business policies of Trump are indeed working, much to the chagrin and angst of the naive and ignorant.

But Trump is a racist, misogynistic, Nazi-loving, morally bankrupt, autocratic, dictator lover, lacking trade and economic knowledge capitalist pig. I heard MSNBC, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, NYT, and other major rags say so. Not to mention Elysian. Can't forget Elysian.
