Say it ain't so. I know he made plenty of recent plunders with foreign policy such as saying Russia wasn't in Ukraine, downplayed NATO, and asked Russia to hack Clinton to find her deleted emails, but that just seems too absurd. Somehow I believe I heard about this but forgot.
What is crazy is that a majority still view him better with the economy. What are his economic plans? His tax plan is more of the same old tax cuts for mainly the rich with barely any cut for the rest. Trickle down doesn't work and wages have been near stagnant since the 80s for everyone except the ultra rich. His camp argues that this would somehow increase revenue by spurring the economy but if you look back to the Bush and Reagan tax cuts one can see it only added to the deficit.
Starting trade wars won't bring manufacturing back to the USA because other countries would just raise tariffs on our good. Sure you can raise tariffs on certain goods such as Chinese steel which they have been dumping on market lately but a blanket increase on all goods would be stupid (I believe we tried this right before the Great Depression 29-39 and it just made matters worse).
Probably the only thing I would agree with him on would be increased infrastructure spending which is a no brainer since USA has been so busy fighting wars that we haven't had time to properly invest in ourselves.
