This is one of the most economically ignorant things I've ever read. 

"Don't worry that prices will increase by 35%.  You'll have the money to cover the price increase.  Trust Donald."

The US will NEVER eliminate the trade deficit and we shouldn't want to.

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Trump's Trade Plan:  Gibberish, Trade Ignorance, Growth through Protectionism

From The Trump Economic Plan

So he thinks that companies getting this corporate welfare he wants to impose will just, out of the goodness of their hearts, give employees raises out of the blue and pay above the market wage? 

Wow, I can't believe anyone buys this!

This is just plain anti-American evil.

Here's a little more on Peter Navarro, the "economist" who wrote this plan:

Sound just like Hillary Business will just cut costs Clinton. He doesn't operate in the real world especially the world of the small business owner. It's always a little easier when you are wealthy robber baron with old money and international connections like Trump.
