Can Trumps economic plan work?

OK so were those jobs already there and Trump negotiated a deal just to slap his name on the Merchandise and get a cut of the Royalties? Did Trump approach them or did they approach Trump?
Or are you simply saying he should not partner up with some of the best in the business? Dorya International furniture? Serta Mattresses (all were made in the US), Phillips Van Heusen (owns Hilfiger, CK, Speedo, Izod, Kenneth Cole, DKNY, and more big name brands), Elk Lighting (another big International group that has been around for 30+ years).

Lastly, if Trump imposes a tariff on all goods imported from China, then that means his goods that come from China will also be subject to that Tariff, so I don't see how that would "benefit" Trump.
