Sure, I’ll take the 100B. Definitely. That’s 1T over 10 years, in a static model. Of course, what I want is tariffs to go to $0. Zero. None.

I want fair trade that doesn’t result in tariffs, where companies are not incentivized to import. Where our imports are of items we simply don’t make, like bananas, certain furniture, specific materials, seasonal items like fresh fruits from South America, etc.

I am all for trade, but not at the expense of requiring America be weak to do it just so some foreign nation becomes stronger like expat_panama has demanded.

After 30 years of giving the rest of the world a chance to “play fair”, and they haven’t, do you really thing we can live in a world without tariffs?
