The position that actions by Trump that benefit workers by retaining jobs should be supported is reasonable. Denying the damage done to achieve this is not. The deal with United Technologies is not yet clear but any move to sacrifice corporate taxes and protection of people and environment, as Trump has clearly stated he will do, is acceptable. Your assumption is clearly that of the decades of radical capitalism that has destroyed big parts of the planetary economy. Redistribution of wealth and expanded regulation of the market economy, that is predicated on greed, is the only way to correct this. From within traditional market economics there is a distinction between subsidies and tax relief but the must be constrained and contained within the critical need to correct planetary destruction and massively imbalance in wealth distribution.
