Hard evidence that the FR “free trade at any cost” cultists are wrong in their dire predictions as they clamor against Trump’s China tariffs.

You realize that lower import prices reduce any incentive to move production back to the US, which was ostensibly the point of this exercise, right?

***************************************************
Moving SOME production back to the US is only one of the “points of this exercise”; there are many other “points”. Examples are ending theft of American intellectual property, increase of American exports, end of currency manipulation, end of informal rules/processes that discourage purchase/import of American produced goods, and others.

We’re early in the game my FRiend. We’re on a good path thanks to the vision and leadership of President Trump.

Well the greatness of tariffs is two fold. They also generate plenty of $$$$$$ for the US treasury reducing the income tax burden of the tax payer and reducing the federal deficit. win-win.
