I guess Tariffs are only bad when Trump uses them to level the playing field.

Trump could say he had a cure for cancer and the freaks would say it’s bad. TDS is real and it’ll be the demise of the Dem party.

Yepper. It has been going on for decades. Tarrifs (or anything named different but equates to tarrifs) bad unless the rest of the world uses them. It is insanity.

IB Freeman will not like this.

Where has he been? In a padded room?

Bro, tariffs are only bad when they put America first. If we are getting fricked some kind of way, then that is exactly how it should be and we should never fight for balance.

America has gotten addicted to cheap stuff made cheaply in foreign countries

If we can accept more expensive stuff made here in the US, we can stop all the trade wars.

We have to address our ridiculous, and counter productive minimum wage and allow a reasonable work visa program for the jobs that Americans aren’t willing to do

No we do not. There are plenty of Americans willing to “do”. Just have to get them off of mail box money and they will be ready to work in a swiftness. The youth will be incentivized to learn better trades to avoid being the ditch diggers. Those who will not or cannot not learn will be the ditch diggers.

It’s crazy. We’ve all been pushing corporate propaganda our entire lives. Trump got punked by the system his first term but I think he means business this time. He’s brought in some serious people.

The same reason the rest of the western world also places all kinds of other regulations and artificial barriers to free trade.

Are you ready for socialized medicine, since all the cool kids are doing it?

One of the worst attempts at analogy that I have seen. Like saying my offense was bad because Seinfeld is no longer a current tv show. One does not have any thing to do with the other.

Do you believe the same as Roger does? That the USA was a socialist nation until FDR?

Tucker’s podcast with Bob Lighthizer is very good. It makes you appreciate what Trump is trying to do. We have to reestablish the middle class.
