You claim to be "a smart folk", while supporting Donald Trump and referring to the working class as "people who didn't win the intelligence lottery". I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you sir, are clearly not a smart folk. The economy follows the path of least resistance and offshoring jobs is that path in the short term. Many actors in our society get rewarded in a short-term basis, e.g: bonuses are given in a per-quarter or fiscal year basis. Short-term strategies are not necessarily good for the long-term.

Your comment is more ad hominem than helpful. Furthermore, being in agreement with Trump on a single issue does not mean OP supports him in general.

  A blanket statement over an entire socioeconomic class ("people who didn't win the intelligence lottery") should not be the target for upvoting in a site appealing to modern people.

I went to Cal for undergrad and Stanford for grad school. I'm comfortable with my intellectual abilities.

  China and the US conduct a lot of trade and have built dependencies on each other products and services. In this regard, economies are deeply interconnected. A slight imbalance can cause negative effects for either economy. The fragility of the situation requires some deep analysis and, leaving this matter to a person like Donald Trump is something that concerns me.

I don't think that the parent's comment regarding the possibility of Trump being right on this issue necessarily implies their overall support of him. I doubt there are many politician who's stances you agree with 100% of the time. There probably aren't too many you disagree with completely either. Please don't take this as an endorsement of Trump though. Also, I am certainly not one of the "smart folk" so I could be wrong in my interpretation of your comment.
