What he says about his protectionist economic platform is something that confirms what I always suspected, I would likely be a Trump voter in USA.
Probably not an unconditional one, as there’s tons of differences on what we believe, mainly on some social and democratic issues - but Trump’s economic nationalism is 100% correct over Democrats staunch neoliberalism.
Trump openly says in the interview that he looks up to BRICS countries tariff policies - mentioning China; Brazil; India and France (the more protectionist European country) as examples for what he wants to do in USA.
Are you comfortable with additional inflation?
Trump: No, I've seen. I've seen—I don't believe it'll be inflation. I think it'll be lack of loss for our country. Because what will happen and what other countries do very successfully, China being a leader of it. India is very difficult to deal with. India—I get along great with Modi, but they're very difficult to deal with on trade. France is frankly very difficult on trade. Brazil is very difficult on trade. What they do is they charge you so much to go in. They say, we don't want you to send cars into Brazil or we don't want you to send cars into China or India. But if you want to build a plant inside of our country, that's okay and employ our people. And that's basically what I'm doing. And that’s—I was doing and I was doing it strongly, but it was ready to really start and then we got hit with COVID. We had to fix that problem. And we ended up handing over a higher stock market substantially than when COVID first came in. But if you look at the first few years of what we did, the numbers we had were breathtaking.
