Can Trump Save Their Jobs? They’re Counting on It

Trump isn't the Valade family who have mostly been able to keep the bulk of their products made in the USA. He's consistently gone out to increase profits. And brought in migrant workers into U.S. based businesses to pay less.

Right, increase profits. Why should we hold him to a higher standard than we do any other business owner?
More to the point, everyone plays by the same rules. As the rules are currently, some things are just cheaper from China than they are here. If that changes (via Tarif etc) then you will see companies coming back or new companies forming to meet the market demands because they do what's best for their bottom line. And you don't have to make the Tarif higher than it would cost to buy the item locally, just setting it to a point where both are fairly even. It's much more convenient to get your merchandise from down the road than it is from overseas.

I can't answer why the Valade family does it because I'm not sure who the Valade family is (elaborate please what type of business are they in?).
