An employee that will lose everything if fired is easily exploitedYes you can, when the benefits of globalization aren't equally distributed, protectionist policies become necessary. At the moment, globalization has resulted in unintended consequences - like stagnating wages and outsourcing labor (creating higher unemployment). I'm not suggesting they be permanent, but they need to be put in place to protect American workers and American wages.
We've had 35 years of supply-side economic policy, it works when people have money to spend, but considering that's the single greatest factor in the growth of the economy, it's clear that policy needs to change to demand-side economics - expansionary policy, financed by implementing similar effective tax rates of the 1950s. The problem is structural, not cyclical, and Trump's plan of lowering taxes on the rich would effectively eliminate social safety net programs, education, health care, and all of the other most important - and highly popular - programs poor and middle-class people depend on.
