If the U.S. had a much more level playing field from a tariff standpoint we would manufacture and export more products. If the U.S. can't compete on manufacturing and products, then why are our goods hit hard with tariffs in the EU, China, etc.


Exactly this. If the establishment globalists are so sure tarrifs don't work and will ruin the US economy, then why is every other country slapping on retaliatory tarrifs? Won't that just ruin theirs faster than ours?

That's an interesting point. Basically they are like "you're so stupid for raising tariffs!" followed by "we also raised tariffs".

I'm not pro or anti Trump. More of a spectator.
