All I was trying to say that the current round of executive actions are being taken for businesses and without regards to effects on workers, but you put it more succinctly.
Businesses would like to make their goods as cheap as possible (by using cheap labor outside the US). What he has proposed (tariffs) forces them to build here, hence the jobs are here.
That's the point, they are supposed to make as much money as possible. That's why you need competition. If corp A's competitor is selling the same product at a lower price, then corp A loses out on the profit. It's a nice feedback loop.
