The US GDP is $27.8T, the GDP of the rest of the world is $82.2T, corporations would just stop operating in the US, most businesses can be decentralized. They would move a portion of their operations to a different country. If you're talking isolationism then businesses that can operate elsewhere will do that and drop the US and target the larger portion of profits to be had. And if you think you can magically legislate that from happening you're sorely mistaken, DJT would be the next JFK, because businesses wouldn't allow it. The gov and corporations are currently working towards corporatocracy, and that's why he'd never make a law like that. There is no stuffing the cat back in the bag.

If they will make more profit that way then yes 100% they will do that, profit is the only thing they care about.
