And it’s not likely to contribute one iota toward what POTUS has convinced his most rabid followers that he’s going to do … bring back old-school smokestack manufacturing to the US so that people with a high school education or less who love their mamas and Jesus and have strong backs and good work ethics and can say yes sir and no sir can make comfortable middle class livings.
My fear is how those people are going to react when they find out at the end of the day that the world they seek is never coming back, ever, because it doesn’t exist anymore and no tariffs will restore it.
There was a story in the British paper The Telegraph recently where they went to West Virginia and talked to coal miners who have been reduced to poverty by the move away from coal and the constant refrain was how they want to get even with everyone who’s preventing them from living the kinds of lives they want to and working the kind of jobs they want to … changing and adapting instead of clinging to those things are simply not considerations … and I fear that is going to be the final act of this.
But it’s easy to yell “China first.”

According to Trumpists, basically every trade deal America has ever signed has been a bad deal, yet we are all supposed to cheer this one site unseen. If the Trumpists didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any standards at all
