I never said that the POTUS shouldn't have focus on the economy, though. A move like this, however, is an overreach by the federal government. Well, it would be if it was actually what it is being advertised as.
I consider any measures taken by POTUS to pursuade companies to keep job stateside to be a good thing. As to "overreach" I'm not sure. What is overreaching about telling a company to go wherever you want and build whatever you want; but if you want to sell it back to us, it is going to be heavily taxed.
But I can see this measure by Trump going the way of "not good enough"; like when he had the fund-raiser for the Vets. Everything he does over the next 4 years will be under a microscope just so some can say "See, told ya".
No different than many have done to Obama the last 8 years. I just see many becoming what they have hated for the last 8 years, but their justification will be "Well, I'm right to do it".
