My interpretation of Trump is as follows, though note that I'm not american nor a close follower of US politics, or politics in general.

The main concern of his is the flow of capital out of the US, be it through delocating companies or employment of cheap workforce mainly in southeastern Asia. He wants to exploit the national potential of workforce and has a more introvert, more domestic politic inclination, planning minimal involvement in international questions. And he seeks the support needed through a populist policy with a xenophobic and banale rhetoric targeting the unread american proletariat, the unemployed, and the elderly who does not appreciate the today's increasingly internationalised society and culture.

Three buzzwords in a row. The only company I expected would make a concrete and desirable change with positive effects in a global scale was Tesla, but they shifted interest recently away from making electric vehicles practical (actually as a city-dweller I see carownership a burden, but that's another story). I know commenting on this will detract from the topic here, so I will not do so.
