I sense a showdown coming...the entire global socio-economic order vs. Mr. Trump and his merry band of pillagers. And every US-based member of the Fortune 1000 sides with the former, not the latter.

Despite the chest thumping and bravado, Trump's about to find out who really runs the world and controls America's well-being. And it ain't him or his gov't.

Scenario #1: Trump slaps a 35% tariff on European cars not built in America. The EU retaliates by banning the importation of any oil that has been handled by Exxon or its subsidiaries. Ol' Rex should be thrilled with that.

Scenario #2: Trump's cronies slash the minimum wage by 20% while telling their hapless followers "it's for your own good. It'll bring jobs back home." China responds by slashing its wages by 30%, and then implements a state-funded subsidy that makes up the difference for affected workers. They've got more than enough cash to do it. And the winner is??
