I hope the elites of US are not thinking about moving shoe-making back to the US because it doesn't make sense.

I'm sure (I hope, actually) that some policymakers, or some researchers, have done some conclusive researches about -- give X years into the future, and let's see we do not want to disrupt the current social-economic reality too much (no revolution, no major wealth re-distribution, no world wars, etc.), which industries can we bring back, and into which state, and sell its products into which countries, realistically.

The opinions of "elites" simply don't matter. There's only one guy who matters when it comes to policy now. And he's not known for his thinking abilities

If the elites don't disagree with him I'd say they probably "in average" agree with him. Trump is just one man.

Depends what you mean by "elite". Obviously a ton of people disagree with him. I'm just saying, that doesn't matter. There's not a single Republican in government that's willing to publicly contradict Trump on anything.
