“but his actual plan is to slap on tariffs which history has proved will lead to higher prices (hurting the middle class the most) and less American jobs”

History has proved no such thing... American jobs don’t depend on importing, they depend on manufacturing here. America is the largest consumer in the world. However we are now consuming stuff everybody else makes. Tariffs are exactly what we need.

When people say “history has proved”, it usualy means they are making it up...

When people say “history has proved”, it usualy means they are making it up... Sorry, history has proved it. Ex. Smoot Hawley, the steel tariffs that W had to abandon in the early 200s. In fact, name me an industry that is still in existence that was helped by tariffs.

Actually, we will suffer a net loss of jobs as there will be fewer exports.

I did hear him say he wanted to bring back jobs from China and Mexico. I’m a watcher, I like what the Donald says, I agree what he says, but I do remember the democrat decoy, Ross Perot.
