Well nitwit, that's where you and I will once again disagree.

Wow, touchy.

Disagree with my statement all you like, but you're not standing on any solid ground if you do so.

Domestic protectionism like a tariff cannot strictly counteract a foreign tariff. There is no actual economic theory that even suggests otherwise.

Since I can't private message you, I'll just post this here, and without comment.

Listen to this:

Whether you agree, or disagree, it is well worth the listen, and explains why some informed Trump voters and supported are not concerned with tariffs, since they aren't going to be permanent.

What I'd be surprised if you disagree with it, are the arguments about supply change, and capital rushing out of China.

I said informed Trump voters/supports. There are as many Trump supporter that don't understand this policy position, or are even aware of it, as other voters.

This said, this isn't exactly the current policy, but with respct to tariffs, it is awfully close. Especially about what the end game is.

How incredibly interesting.

Suffice it to say, you're apparently not a chess player, not a follower of military strategy, not a much of a follower of sports, nor do you understand trade strategy.
