Supply and demand plus people will pay beyond what they say they will for stuff they want. Petrol prices, iproducts whatever. In the short term we might see local prices rise as retailers with stock on hand panic.
I'm happy for America to wall itself off or sink into the sea. It'll force them to fix their own problems and product quality will increase as the market decides who to buy from from or not. Its how its always worked. It also means other countries will be forced to fix their local problems too instead of depending on America to hold its hand, like our Australian government operates. America can vanish and the world will continue to turn and only the rich elsewhere will be really effected. I can't think of a single product where Made In America is a preferred choice for consumers. China is slowly improving its quality control and manufacturing attitudes so it won't be long before Made In China is something to look for like Made In Japan has over the last few decades. I don't think Made In Australia has been anything to be proud of so maybe Trump means our government starts to support Australian manufacturing and research.
Regardless its useless to speculate, what happens will happen. Our government has never paid attention to what the public wants anyway and it not accountable for its messes. Perhaps Trump heralds the rise of Corporations controlling the world like so many scifi movies predict, it could also be a tie in for the Bladerunner remake or a new series of Big Brother.
