Trump is closing doors to the US for certain groups of immigrants. And adopting economic policies that will put Americans first (which I think is something that every country does, they put their citizens first), but in a way that may limit competition.
If you ask me, competition is the way human beings improve. Fair competition is also what allows meritocracy to survive. If people are not allowed to compete on fair terms, the best will not be rewarded; we are instead rewarding those who may not be as talented or as hardworking.
If we believe that people should be rewarded for how hard they work, and how much they contribute to society, then we need to lower or remove any form of unfair assistance to certain groups of people.
In the long run, by sheltering the American people against fair competition, is Trump helping them to grow, or is he helping them to stay complacent within their own comfort zones? And ultimately stagnating growth?
How do we balance a certain level of assistance so that everyone can survive at a certain acceptable level, yet still provide room and incentive for competition, so that people continue to want to improve?
