Do you think the people who voted for him understand jack or shit about international trade?
Doesn't matter. When you attempt to write off enough people, they will seek two things:
A cathartic release expressed on those that caused the losses
A restoration of jobs and prosperity for those that were displaced.
If they're smart, they also pursue the means to insure against future threats. Right now, I'd wager that they're smarter and determined than you think.

Sounds like you don't know or appreciate the US. For once, it actually is the fault of the people that you mentioned.
Migrants from the EU are statistically less likely to be criminals, less likely to be claiming state benefits, and likely to be paying a higher tax rate. Now, if you're in a low-skilled job then you might have a convincing argument that you've suffered disproportionately from freedom of movement driving down wages.
You've been under a rock for the last 40 years and must be quoting turn-of-the-20th-century claims. Replacement migration is a thing.
You hear of a major crime, it's likely not to be caused by a citizen. You hear of intimidation, it's likely to be caused by a non-citizen.
A company I work with is considering moving their manufacturing to China. At the moment they build products in the UK, but if tariffs come in then they might just as well build them in China where the labour is cheaper and pay those tariffs.
So that company wants pliant labor that has no leverage.
Disagreement is treason: From silencing conservative opinions on Twitter and Reddit to assaults and threats against Trump supporters, this one fits the left like a glove.
Fear of difference: If you're not expressing the correct virtue signals, you're targeted and destroyed.
The cult of tradition: The left achieves this by replacing old traditions with their own.
The cult of action for action’s sake: Virtue signalling fits here.
Life is permanent warfare: This sounds like the continuous revolution of the left.
The obsession with a plot, possibly an international one: Claims of patriarchy & "good old boys club" fit.
Machismo: Third wave feminism/alphabet soup virtue signalling fits.
The rejection of modernism: This is where the left fits the opposite - where they reject traditions, values, absolute morals, and Natural Law.
Popular elitism: Easily explained by group dynamics - especially In-group/Out-group. The left thinks that it's more "civilized" for silencing dissent.
The appeal to a frustrated middle class: Given that many revolutionaries of the left come from the middle, they definitely fit.
Why is Carnival entitled to offshore without consequences? If anything, this is a case where the business has an unchecked entitlement mentality.
Time for them to be offered a deal they can't refuse - including the apology. Remind them that the American (US) way of life is nonnegotiable. Remind them that we can always just look the other way when their ships get the Somalia treatment.
Find some provision that allows the US to make it a royal PITA for sea-going firms like Carnival to operate. Time it in the middle of hurricane season so that an exodus of vessels is unsafe and impractical. If they want Coast Guard protection, they pay for it.
Then offer an olive branch if they commit to remaining in the US, IT and all. Bonus points if they deliver the apology.

Pawning it off on some abstraction doesn't make your argument any more correct.
I'm not holding my breath on tariffs. (And I agree that they're a bad idea.)
It's the only answer that actually works.
Not only is it Chinese junk, they'll be cranking it out even faster.
Doesn't mean anything if it's not resulting in US jobs.
Not only can you get them at flea markets, you can now see them in the theater.
H1B abuse is a bad thing but you really do need to better identify when it's actually happening. Not all outsourcing counts.
They're just trying to whitewash Carnival by pawning off the worst of it to Capgemini.
It's going to happen.
Actually, in a tight labor market,
That hasn't really existed since the .com era.

the spotlight of ignorance shines brightly on all those that chose to remain in the EU.
FTFY.
With their customers?
Nope, but nice try.
Not that I have much sympathy for them since they voted to cut their own throats. But Cornwall prosperous? Get a ******* clue.
Consider that the policies of the past 40 years might have given rise to what exists today.

Now we know where these traitors stand and where they will be.
Interesting to see traitorous activity be defended.

Do you want a list?
This one at least gets started on a few important bits:

In what way is he entitled to this job?

So much for Firefly fans.
Nice toy, but when will this kind of thing (and at the same scale) be ready for the Rest of Us?
The only time this ever happens is if a leftist is ever affected. If it harms a non-leftist, they'll defend it.

Trade is beneficial.
Trade lowers prices and increases wealth.
Only when it's not destroying entire regions.
It's easy to write off entire regions and wait for the displaced to die, which is your solution.
It's harder, but more proper and prosperous to continuously re-integrate the displaced, even if it means forsaking certain trade policies.
price of their goods shot up 50%
Non-hyperbolic [citation needed] for that.
Perhaps Apple might want to consider doing that for the US and turning on Jobs' word.
