re: Tariffs are bad

As a politician, the problem with taking tariffs off the negotiation table from the get-go because the Cato Institute and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce paid you to be ideologically against tariffs is, you are removing a trade negotiating tool from your negotiating toolbox.

Anyone that is ideologically against tariffs will likely get rolled by China or any European country on trade deals screwing over the American people but probably making U.S. Chamber of Commerce multinational corporate members really happy.
