Well he could bring the rust belt to life. Take steel production for instance. You just have to put a large enough tariff on steel imports so that it becomes economic to open up (well, rebuild) those old steel mills and start them producing again.

Of course the US price of cars, buildings, machinery, appliances and pretty well anything else that uses steel would go through the roof, so other consumers would take an immense hit in order to transport Pennsylvania back to the 1950's. Of course, that would destroy other large parts of the US economy in the process. But no doubt the he will be able to use the libel laws he has mentioned numerous times he would like to implement to close down any newspaper that points that out.

Oh yes, and you'd have to ban using all that modern technology that does most of the work in modern steel-mills, so all those big really muscly guys can come back into the factory again.

All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable.


I never met anyone who didn't have a very smart child. What happens to these children, you wonder, when they reach adulthood?
