Planet Money Podcast: Dude, Where's My Trade War

One way to think of President Trump's trade policy as a sort of soap opera. There are multiple plotlines, there's high drama, and plot twists abound. And on top of all that, you can walk away for a while, come back, and still know the general thrust of the plot — in this case, the thrust being that President Trump has a penchant for blowing up trade agreements (or at least, saying that he will). Today, we catch you up on the latest dramatic developments and answer a big, looming question: are we in a trade war?

Maybe this is just because of my upbringing in a heavily union and heavily industrial state (PA).....but it’s interesting to me how many democrats on this board are so against any sort of protectionism
My dad, a huge free trader and conservative republican, used to always tell me the “lunch sack union dudes” and democrats were for tariffs and higher prices
I guess because of the lack of industry in the south, the democrats of the region just aren’t as into the protectionism

I think you're just highlighting why two primarily political parties is problematic since there are many unique ideologies within each with views that often span across both.
