    Make America great by regressing it to developing world standards so labour and environmental costs are cheap enough to compete with China or India, so manufacturing can happen there again.

    The oligarchy are the only people that profit from this.

    So if its shuttered, you won’t need Linda MacMahon anymore, right? Is she fired? Somehow I suspect she’ll manage to keep her job paycheck in all this.
