Yup ... he's a "free trader," all right, who proposes a 45 percent tariff and has apparently never heard of the WTO. Or the Smoot Hawley tariff, for that matter.

If Trump were serious, or knew what he was talking about, he would propose bringing a WTO case against China. There are many Chinese practices which would be vulnerable to such s challenge. Of course, our hands are not entirely clean either, but we cheat less than does China.

Many times Trump has stated that he would never have to actually impose a tariff because as soon as he announced it the ChiComs would fall into line and I agree with him. Sometimes Rhetoric is a good thing.

What you propose would concern the Chinks with losing face and spark a trade war. There’s many reasons the Don is a gazillionaire...maybe consider that before your next post!
