I don't think the policies encourage jobs but rather protect current ones... which will be less relevant in a decade. We're going to end up in a situation where the best jobs are those economies that have continued to evolve. If you need any evidence, I'll tell you the number of foreign nationals we hire because there is literally no one in the US qualified, technically, to do them. The US owns the IP so the workers from places that didn't complete, like India, are relocating en masse. Not only will we not own the IP of the future if we don't invest now, all the people trained to make use of it will emigrate to countries that do.
This is part PR stunt, but it's a legitimate threat to a healthy US economy: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-election-macron-idUSKBN15J0RQ">http://www.reuters.com/article/us-franc ... SKBN15J0RQ</a><!-- m -->
If you need further evidence, study the Japanese economy over the last two decades. Their xenophobic policies, that are actually quite similar to Trump's, have hurt them bad.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
