The theory is that Trump will give us one more chance to take the gospel to the ends of the world. Under Hillary they have pretty much already shut down the church and they have made it illegal to be a christian.

In what alternate dimension because that sure has not happened here.

Overall she is still in the lead, but her lead is getting smaller by the day.

Shhhh, don't tell people that polls are for shaping public opinion, they still think they reflect public opinion... Shhhh

They are a threat because they are a world power with air planes that can give our air planes a run for their money.

What's going to happen when other countries slap a 35% tariff on US imports coming into their country?
The problem is that most other countries already put more of a tariff on our goods than that. Many years ago, it was said that if we put the same tariffs on the newly introduced KIA's that Korea put on US made automobiles, a KIA would cost the same in the US as a Mercedes did. I think renegotiating all trade deals, and eliminating NAFTA would move toward leveling the playing field.

Further, Trump talks about repatriating trillions being kept abroad by corporations, by reducing our very high corporate taxes. We would encourage the return of money, and be able to have the jobs return as well. We have relinquished our #1 status in factory production. It is now a concern that considerably fewer people in America produce anything tangible. Service industries have overtaken production industries, and it seems difficult to impossible to return us to the greatness we once had.

They will not do that because everyone everywhere is clamoring for American Made products.

Which church's did Hilary shut down and how?

What is stopping you from taking the gospel to the ends of the world?

You have been told five times now. Trump is going to charge a 35% tax or tariff on imports.

No, you've conflated the promised trade renegotiations/tariffs with the separate promise to make US companies move offshored jobs back to the US.

Placing a higher tax on imports will reduce the profits to a manufacturer made on a particular product imported in the US.

The profit lost may not outweigh the savings made by production outside the US when they consider their market as a whole. They may just decide to swallow it. In which case, the jobs stay offshore.

Taxes are also quite tricky to apply to service functions - for example, if a multinational outsources their call centre outside the US, how would a tariff on imports help?

Trump talks about tariffs for foreign companies. He also said he would make US corporations bring jobs back to America - not try and persuade them through tariffs, make them do that, but instead force them. How will he do that?
