that is just good business sense. He is a hypocrite though on the issue. The blame falls on the Republicans and Democrats who voted for NAFTA that should have had things like the right to decent benefits, good wages, workplace protection, good retirement etc. rather than being nothing more than a cash cow for the 1%. Trump is an idiot but on this issue Bill Clinton and the Republicans created the environment for Trump to send our jobs away. Trump would not be able to do this without shitting free trade agreements.

Donald Trump sending jobs overseas is not just the fault of NAFTA. Trump could have had all those items produced in the United States. There are many companies that have their items made in the United States. Trump could have made the same decision.

When you are trying to have a successful business the promise of paying 1/3 what you would be is just too good to pass up for most, even people who have integrity. Not saying Trump has any integrity but I think the ad has issues because Trump's taking his manufacturing over seas is just the end result of NAFTA which was brought to us by Bill Clinton and the Republicans.
