I think Trump is great and all, but the tariffs are BS. It's crazy to me how many "conservatives" are backpedaling away from capitalism and free trade and Trump is dead wrong on this issue.

I'm not really sure what he has accomplished at this point that would lead you to say that he is great in spite of all of the trade war BS

The only good thing so far is the tax cuts

how is it free trade when the steel you sell overseas has a massive tariff applied and the steel foreign companies sell here does not. That's not free market or fair trading practice, and yet that's how it's been for 30+ years. Throw in the fact that lots of these European and industries are fairly government own and are subsidised with taxes specifically to keep us domestic production suppressed, and that's how you get the manufacturing Exodus and the huge trade imbalances
