I certainly think it's pretty STUPID to tax US consumers because some idiot in China or Mexico is taxing their people.

Didn't you learn in kindergarten that doing something just because others do it is a bad idea?

I know the argument.

But I also learned in kindergarten to get new friends. Trump met some new friends and rekindled relationships with old friends, like Vietnam, Philippines, India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc.

Sorry your China buddy doesn't know how to play nice in the sandbox. He should learn the Golden Rule then he should understand what the words reciprocity and theft mean.
