re: Why are "free traders" quiet about foreign tariffs but apoplectic about U.S. tariffs?

I don't think they hate America and I don't think they love it. They don't care. All they care about is cash in their pocket and if that means let Chop Suey make it for 2 bucks and hour and import for nothing rather than paying Bubba 15 an hour plus benefits then they're going with Chop Suey. That's what the Bush/Clinton trade deals were all about.

See, this is what people are talking about. Chop Suey can work for less than Joe Blow in America even if tariffs are 0% and other non-tariff barriers are adjusted too. Standards of living are different. It will never be completely even.
Do you truly want China to remove trade barriers or do you want protectionism for the US worker?
I feel like Trump is appealing to 2 different groups of people by using tariffs
