None of the previous tariffs were as broad in scope and far more targeted than Trumps. Used appropriately they can be beneficial.
Trump's tarriffs are a card play for tit for tat fnegotiations.. It may end up getting proven that no deals go through without a purchase of Trump Coin..   EU and India said they  ain't talking no more right now and won't be signing any agreements. The entire planet is shaking their head..  You should be too.

If you want to know how innapropriate tariffs can cause issues, you really should review the Smoot Hawley Tarriff acts of the 1930's.. Most economists agree the policy, which tarriffed 20,000 incoming goods, prolonged the Great Depression. Within 4 years of implementation, every Smoot Hawley supporter was voted out of office.

Compounding the Trade War with Mass Deportation has to be about the dumbest course any leader could take.
It does not make sense to deport labor when ya gotta build  stuff.

Waaaaayyyyy too nuanced..

The [[[GOYIM]]] only remember what [[[RACHEL]]] permits them to remember.

I am willing to pay more for imported things if it means a return of factories and jobs for future generations of my fellow US Citizens.
Being as dependent on imports as we were was the fast track to nowhere.
I am sure you feel the same way.

Tiny,

Your daisy chain partner has been demanding a link to one of your greatest hits....I went looking for it, but your archives have been scrubbed.

In my search I happened upon some of your many other greatest hits.

So many words.
Words that haunt.




And taunt.

LOL!

There is nothing you can do that will haunt or taunt me.  The more games like this you play the more childish you appear.

The OP is spot on.

 Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said he would use tariffs as a negotiating tool if he wins the White House but slammed President Donald Trump’s latest maneuvering in his trade war with China.“What the President is doing is totally irrational and it is destabilizing the entire world economy,” the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate said in an interview that aired on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday. “You do not make trade policy by announcing today that you’re going to raise tariffs by X percent and the next day by Y percent, by attacking the person you appointed as head of the Federal Reserve as an enemy of the American people.”When asked by CNN’s Brianna Keilar if he would use tariffs to cut a deal with China during his own presidency, Sanders said that he would.Related articleAfter Trump appears to soften on trade war, White House says he wanted higher tariffs

“Yeah of course, it is used in a rational way within the context of a broad, sensible trade policy. It is one tool that is available,” he said. “You’re looking at somebody, by the way, who helped lead the effort against permanent normal trade relations with China and (North American Free Trade Agreement).”
