OK so it's 2 things 1. cheaper wages in other countries and 2. automation. Alrighty...cheaper wages in other countries is all fine and dandy IF the product is still sold at the same profit margin, HOWEVER, Trump has said (now he's not DONE anything officially as President yet because well he's not yet President) he will increase tariffs in order to keep jobs in America. Meaning Donald Trump's plan is to attempt (and we'll see if it works) to keep jobs in America by making America a more competitive place to do business FROM....is that a bad thing? Is he wrong to want to try that? As for the automation, sure I get it computers and robots have been the wave of the future since the 1960's and it's only going to get more advanced it's only going to increase in manufacturing. OK who builds the robots, who services the robots, etc there is a point of diminishing returns with robots as in it completely fucks up our economic system these robots do work, humans don't robots don't need money, but humans do in order to buy what the robots produce, if humans don't have jobs they can't buy from the robots and the robots don't make anything because nobody can buy it....there will be a change in the economy coming, we'll see where it goes.

Well scrutinize him then, I mean he's not yet been inaugurated but scrutinize away. Also pay no mind to the mainstream media attacking Donald Trump for anything and everything and Twitter is his way of helping press forward his own narrative which a few websites help with, but certainly nothing like the mainstream media.
