How does the world’s largest consumer economy effectively “collectively bargain” against other centrally planned economies without doing a little central planning of our own?

It’s not really free trade when the trading partners are coordinating against us with tariffs, currency manipulation, labor conditions that we don’t allow in our own country, etc.

Trump's biggest mistake is telling his people that trade imbalances are the causes of all evil


They are not nearly as important as he wants them to believe.

All of what you said is TDS fan fiction.

Imagine an entire group of people wanting absolute economic devastation and hardship just to prove OMB.

Tell us about the bank bailouts, green subsidy loans etc.

By your definition every move by the fed ever is "central planning"

Beyond any doubt, you are the fricking retard.

Reagan used precise, well thought out tariffs. He HATED blanket tariffs. Listen to him discuss it below. Trump is the most anti-Reagan person to ever walk this earth.

You jumped the shark there buddy.

Trump is certainly very different from Reagan, but I need to introduce you to Barry O and Biden if you want true anti-Reagan.

They already were shut out of world markets due to trade barriers and high tariffs on us you dipshit.

That’s Trumps entire point of enacting the tariffs because our trade isn’t and has never been free trade.

I’d encourage everyone to listen to the Tucker interview with Lighthizer. He lays out the central planning idea and how the tariff plan is to reshape the economy.
