As for globalisation, the US became the dominant global economy how exactly? Protectionism, aside from being an autocratic intrusion into the freedoms of citizens, just doesn't work.
Take the US steel industry, a main target of Trump protectionism. Yes blast furnace employment is marginally up, but steel mill employment has been hammered because it largely depends on working imported steel. The domestic furnaces can't expand fast enough to meet supply, and don't produce some of the steels needed by manufacturing anyway. As a result manufacturers consuming steel are facing inflated prices and reduced competitiveness. It's unintended consequences all over the place.
We have a long way to go before the US system feels like a a kindly helping grandfather rather than an abusive angry father that blames you for not working harder.
I would have no problem with that if it didn't happen at the cost of American worker which it clearly did.
> Employment in the US and Europe was rising, and came close to 100% before the Pandemic.
You can thank the "nationalistic" trade policies of Trumps USA towards China for that. In Europe on the other hand (which had no such policies) unemployment especially in the periphery was and is still sky high and the situation was looking pretty grim also before the pandemic.
