If everyone has to make clubs in the USA, then it's still an equal playing field...
Right now, it's more profitable, in some cases the only way it can be profitable, to have things made elsewhere. That's not likely to change. What could happen is an import tax. That type of tax is VERY common around the world. We don't have it.
Do you think that low wage people in China know how to make a golf club? They take a design, likely from here and make it there while paying lower wages and ignoring environmental issues. We can train people to make the clubs here. Just like they train people to make them there. You think it's rocket science?
But this isn't even the point. The point is to favor American citizens in hiring. That seems to be common sense to me. If you can hire an American, do so. Actually what Trump did only effects the government. He can't dictate those policies on private companies. Government can incentivize hiring America and buy American but he can't actually force them to do so. It's not like Ocare which forced people to buy a product from a private business.
It's like you favor people in other countries over Americans. You'd rather have them on the dole then being productive members of society? So many great things happen when actually employment is tight.
You just see Trump act and lash out. You don't even care to try to understand what he's doing. You hate him so what ever it is has to be evil in your mind. It's incredibly irrational.

Re: So...
"Focus on our own people". Yes, but drive companies like Taylormade and Callaway out of business.
Business is about least cost and more profit. It is not charity to help people who are unqualified, unskilled and inexperienced.
Abu Ivanka Al Amreeki's own company make his products in Mexico, China, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Taiwan. So this is just hypocrisy and politics!
