Trump while a liar and conman, at least promised to do something about China and jobs.
Shilary, also a liar and conman, didn't even say she would and avoided it.
statistically you are more likely to get something done on those things with Trump than Hilary.
Unfortunately Trump bungled the China issue massively. Addressing China is a global, western multilateral undertaking that will take the entire wests cooperation to end or at least lessen and restrict our reliance and relationship with them and rebuild a strong west.
unfortunately just before/during trump "taking on china", we not only didn't have any plan with our allies to do so. He ACTIVELY insulted them, attacked them and even put on tariffs against them.
if you are about to go fight 1 big bully, is it smarter to get your friends to help with a coordinated plan? or insult and punch your friends before hand then go it alone?
I get why he did this. He either overestimated the US's ability to act unilateral. or/and largely had no plan and used to as red meat to republicans. unfortunately this meant it was not a serious effort and really accomplished nothing.
it was standing up to china for show, rather than an effective multilateral plan that would do so.
