Globalization isn't a policy, it's a reality. Globalization defined as "the process by which businesses or other organizations develop international influence or start operating on an international scale."

Global market integration has been happening pretty well since the beginning of civilization, accelerated around 1500,
with a sharp acceleration occuring since around 1750, and continuing today.

Shouldn't that concern you? Shouldn't that concern everyone?

Do I need to post links and data to illustrate that the entire GOP has pushed globalization as "core policy" for decades? That it can be proven to be a "kooky and hostile conservative policy"?

This is actually very true!

Those in the know (read every multinational and US corporation) may not always appreciate the challenges associated with globalization, but they know full well that it is an inevitability to be embraced and that ignoring it, is to die a slow death.

Those who fear change and competition resist globalization. When did we, as Americans, decide we could not step up and compete and just gave up trying?

It does not matter what Trump does, as long as it pisses of the lefties and if in the process Trump reverses public enemy number one Obamas stuff in the process that is a bonus. Does not matter if the alternative is not better, heck it matter even not is there is NO alternative just look at the healthcare fiasco.
Healthcare fiasco? Wanna take this up? Bet. I'm game.

What is Trump's healthcare plan? Don't tell me about the plan that McConnell has or the House plan...tell me all about Trump's plan. The one HE formulated.

Give me...let's say two or three of his bullet points in HIS healthcare plan.

(watch this)

Globalization, trade deals etc are policy. It started off with the late 1940's with Bretton Woods. Business and organization can't have international influence and operations without government policies.

Uhhh.. what was your point again?

Fine. I hate Trump and I hate the morons who support him. There. Happy?

And he didn't even win the popular vote. I don't care what lies he tries to pull out of his old ass.

And Democrats didn't push globalization, bad trade deals and mass immigration? Hillary and Obama didn't support TPP? Bill Clinton didn't sign NAFTA? Wallstreet and corporations seemed to love Hillary and Democrats.

Sure, but even all the conservative business leaders and politicians are in support of globalization. It's very lucrative. What about your leader? He talks a big game against globalization, but where is all his **** made? Where is all the **** Ivanka peddles made? Riddle me that.

It depends on how you define globalization. Globalization could also be defined as "the free movement of goods, services and people across the world", something that has been happening since the beginnings of civilization. Viewed this way, government policies can affect and shape globalization, but globalization itself goes beyond just policy.

A matter of perspective. Globalization will continue despite any nation's specific policies. Globalization is inevitable, policy is how we choose to deal with it! Government policies can give business advantages or not, but globalization will continue regardless.

Every US business understands this. I doubt you can find one company in the S&P that does not embrace globalization.
