You’e simply wrong on that point, and the facts do not support you.

Protectionism is much like Obamacare or minimum wage hikes. It closes off available markets, reducing sales, raising prices, and causing economic dislocation. The result of that is higher unemployment.

We haven’t had free trades in office for a while.

We’ve never had more than one-way free trade. It’s a myth.

Free trade is in moral and illegitimate when the country being used as the workforce has slavery or a near condition, abject poverty and no environmental rules.

Free Traders would not agree that it’s wrong to sell lampshades made in a Nazi death camp as long as the Jews were paid $0.50 a day. Nothing in the free Trader philosophy would prevent that. They sell Us North Korean made products today.
