The reality of the situation has already been set. I think President Trump's move to stop the current trend of opening trade between countries with wildly dissimilar economic standings is the right one, but much of the damage has already been done. Something like 95% of all metropolitan areas in the US have seen a shrinking of the middle class between 2000 and 2016 [1]. If that's not a powerful indictment of the past 30 years of drawing back on the protectionist stance that the US gov't had held over the 70yrs prior, maybe the popularity of unconventional politicians is.
