Trump is right and all the whining from our so-called allies is telling.
1. If the proposed tariffs are unfair then why aren't the affected countries simply stating that they don't impose a tariff on American goods.
2. The economy might take a step back but manufacturers will adjust. THEN HOME GROWN PRODUCTS WILL BE CHEAPER THAN EXPORTS. That is where the fear is.
3. Wall Street is going crazy because the gravy chain of cheap(ish) imported goods will be over and so will the double digit year over year returns.
4. Many talk about the global economy but they ignore the fact that the US cannot carry the water for the globe any longer. This isn't about the present. This is about the burden we're placing on our children.
5. To the other countries? Adapt or die. Canada will come to the table after the temper tantrum because they've been getting away with murder. Others have too.
Let me repeat. Trump is right. The arguments on this blog about how its unfair to put equal tariffs on our "allies" is just plain weak.
Trample the weak, hurdle the dead. The weak are being trampled and they don't like it.
