Well that's what happens with trade deals and when you become too expensive. You want more money and you want jobs. So do those who want a higher minimum wage. You want people to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. But you refuse to do that. You stay working in a dying industry and refuse to learn new technologies or get an education. The absolute HYPOCRISY.

I can give some insight into this.
My dad has worked in a factory type job in Michigan ever since I can remember. For my life at least - 27 years. He has no formal education. When he started working in these industries, it was the late 80s/early 90s. Things were pretty good for him. All throughout my life, he worked long hours, I barely got to see him. He was laid off from this job, that job, etc for a long time. He had no time to get a formal education because he had to provide for our family. But he's not for Trump, not at all. And he doesn't buy into the rhetoric. I don't really know what else to say. It's hard to get an education when you're providing for your family and that's where your money goes, and your life. Your life is dedicated to your family... he will work himself to death.
Maybe my post was off point.. It is unfair and sad that the jobs get taken away to overseas.
