Good question. Then again: what plan has any of his opponents put forth?

I agree there have been too many providing lips-service. Brash has always been his forte and his business practices of cozying up to and cajoling politicians with donations is both a weakness of the man and a strength. Its early, there is much road to go before a decision need be made. I'll be on the fence with all of them until someone wow's me with substance. Below is a link to his stated economic policy.

Well, my sense is that your distrust of Trump has to do with his demeanor and attitude. I would describe his attitude as somewhat careless. Careless in the sense that his concept of individual rights (i.e. not to work for a union) seem to come second to results (i.e. the dollar). No doubt, money is NOT the root of all evil. We all know d'Anconia's speech about this. It is that individual rights make the value of the dollar possible, and not the other way around. It is not clear to me that Trump knows this explicitly.

I am sitting here listening to Trump ramble on about helping us compete in the trade and manufacturing with other countries. I have not heard any solutions. The main reason companies trade with and manufacture in other countries is labor costs, ie unions. He never addresses this issue. He keeps talking about fees to bring these products into our country to keep our high cost products competitive! I think that is not the best plan because who really eats it? The consumer of course. Instead of punishing companies who find cheaper labor, how about enforcing our right to work without joining a union? Then companies can pay less for labor because they won't be paying for the huge salaries of the thug union leaders. And consumers will keep competitive prices for the goods we buy. That seems a much better strategy to me. Until and unless Trump addresses the real problem, I don't trust him. Just my opinion.
