Check out this video of Trump answering a voter’s question about jobs at a town hall meeting in New Hampshire last night.

Trump had a hard time sticking to the topic.

When he finally started an answer, he — to his credit — acknowledges the college-debt problem. But he quickly pivoted to trade: “Our really good jobs are gone and they’ve gone to other countries. And so many countries are making our products…I want to see the day when Apple will make their iPhones in this country instead of making them in China and Vietnam and all over the place.”

Wait…. wait, wait, wait.  When we trade with low-wage countries like the ones Trump mentioned, the workers most likely to get hurt are those who can be replaced by factory workers abroad. The “factor price” in the rich country—in this case, the US blue-collar wage—is pushed down by such competition.

So, Trump’s answer is to bring those jobs back to America, and reduce US blue-collar wages…. BIGLY.

But here is the other problem with Trump’s answer (besides the meandering, and besides the wage implications). How does his response help the questioner, who just graduated magna cum laude with a chemistry degree? Trump apparently thinks that every non-business person is a common laborer.

Sunday’s debate is going to be FUUUUUUN!!
