How about steel mill jobs paying $35/hr?
Saying Americans haven’t been hurt they’ve benefited applies to white collar workers only - no change to jobs and cheaper goods.
The US today produces more steel than it ever has in its history, with ~1/10th of its peak workforce.
Those jobs aren't coming back.
>>> Americans have been hurt for 50 years
>> No they haven't. They've benefitted from it.

And that's a big reason why Trump won: white collar workers, like the GP, lecturing blue collar workers, while being ignorant of their actual situation.
Plenty of white collar jobs have moved overseas e.g. IT, marketing, call centres. Especially with remote work.
The point is that as a country it has adapted by people moving into industries that aren't able to be easily outsourced.
