Should Trump wage war against Coca-Cola?

Donald Trump talks about his distrust of international trade quite a lot. Should he wage war against Coca-Cola?

TL;DW: Coca-Cola has been stealing water from poor people in India, even during drought conditions. Also, Coca-Cola takes full advantage of the fact that India has poor labor rights and a very low minimum wage.

Boycotting Coca-Cola would be nearly impossible, since they own most of the popular drinks that we consume every day. Also, most of the drinks which aren't owned by Coke are owned by Pepsi, which has its own set of problems. Boycotting these bastards would be basically impossible. Shouldn't the state intervene in some way?

Wouldn't Donald Trump create jobs by forcing Coca-Cola to hire more American employees? Does Trump even believe in his own stated principles or is he just another Bush-tier neocon?

I pretty much only drink water and coffee, so I don't consume that stuff anyways.

I just find it depressing how Republicans are starting to speak negatively about "globalism" … and yet the most harmful effects of "globalism" are still being largely disregarded.

For example, a lot of tech companies use Pakistan as their personal dumping ground.

That's not globalism, that's heavily deregulated capitalism. Globalism would be a good idea if policies were set to protect people. Protectionism won't work and won't save a nation from an economic downspiral. In fact, it may contribute to it. Companies need to be more hard pressed on these issues, and the government need to start taking harder stances.
