He has not. The real question isn’t whether Trump will ever realize that he doesn’t know how to MAGA. It’s whether and when his supporters will figure it out.

Trump’s angry reaction to auto plant closings is a reminder of his big policy misunderstanding: He believes that he can MAGA the economy by yelling at people.

Why is he wrong? It’s not just that businesses have learned to discount his threats. The economy is too big to make policy by singling out individual companies and ranting. How big is it? Around 1.7 million U.S. workers are fired or laid off every month. He couldn’t bully or threaten enough employers to make a significant difference to the labor market.

Can’t Trump help a little by getting tough on foreigners? But trade deficits aren’t caused by unfair foreign trade practices.

The truth is that while tariffs and so on can affect trade in particular industries, the overall trade balance mainly reflects exchange rates, which in turn are mainly driven by capital flows. The dollar is strong because foreigners want to buy U.S. financial assets. The strong dollar makes American exports expensive compared to competing countries, driving down America’s exports. And Trump’s policies — tax cuts for corporations, government deficits that drive up interest rates — are so far making the dollar even stronger. And the trade deficit even worse.

Finally, Trump believes that trade deficits are the reason we’ve shifted away from manufacturing. But they aren’t.

To be fair, those deficits have played some role in shrinking U.S. industrial employment. If we could eliminate our current trade imbalance, we’d probably have around 20 percent more workers in the manufacturing sector than we actually do. But that would reverse only a small part of manufacturing’s relative decline, from more than a quarter of the work force in 1970 to less than 10 percent now.

Indeed, even countries that run huge trade surpluses, like Germany, have seen big declines in manufacturing as a share of employment. Trade just isn’t the main story. What’s happening instead is that as overall spending grows, an increasing share goes to services, not goods. Consumption of manufactured goods keeps rising, but technological progress lets us produce those goods with ever fewer workers.

Prove it. It is standard technique in salesmanship to declare your product to be greater than the competition's, but not provide the proof. Salesmen don't ripoff every person they talk to, just the ones that believe the sales pitch without proof.

Let's see.
Obama bankrupts GM, and confiscates it.
Obama then gifts GM to his Union Buddies.
Now Union-owned GM lays off workers and shuts down plants. I have not looked if any plants are non-Union.
And these Union shenanigans are the fault of "business"

So now the Trolls blame another of Obama's failures on who?

You remember it different than the way it actually happened: The GM bailout saved 1.2 million jobs and preserved $34.9 billion in tax revenue. The U. S. Treasury recovered $39 billion from selling its GM stake. The Union does not own it.

Cool, I see an image of DeNiro labeled as Wizard of Lies.
Maybe you accidentally veered into Truth and Fact.

Hard to imagine, but there are people who listen to DeNiro rants and believe his lies.
Like they haven't the first braincell in their head.

Funny, you silly.

After illegally confiscating GM and not allowing regular Bankruptcy proceedings, Obama confiscated the pensions of all non-Union workers and gifted these funds plus extra to plump up the pensions of UAW employees.
By June 2009, Obama gifted over 17% of GM shares and 65% of Chrysler to UAW at discount prices. They shoehorned this in before the 9 June 2009 sale of GM at higher price to NGMCO.

Of the 88,000 jobs in USA, Obama dictated GM immediately got rid of 25,000. That's 28% cut of the workforce in US - who cares if US Taxpayers sacrificed to save 1.15 million jobs in countries who compete against us?

The GM Confiscation cost the Taxpayers $51 Billion, which Obama sold for $39 Billion (while the Market Rose 40%, meaning that $51 Billion was worth $71 Billion by the time all Obama shares were sold off, "recouping" $39 Billion. So this loss of $32 Billion - not even including calculations of the UAW payoffs - was to "preserve" $34.9 Billion in Tax Revenue). Obama had confiscated 500 Million Shares of GM stock, and as of 2018 UAW still owns 100 million shares - GM's largest stakeholder.

The federal debt has been getting steadily bigger and is predicted to increase by $8.5 trillion if Trump stays in office 6 more years. (It started at $20 trillion) The foreign trade deficit is getting worse, not better as Trump promised. Incomes are growing at a feeble rate, same as under Obama. The number of people employed under Trump follows the exact same trend line that it was on during Obama.

America under Trump is doing no better than under Obama. Trump is not providing the superior product performance he promised as a super salesman. But Trump's personal performance has been a little worse on a few things, such as scandals.
