I said it’s fine to make an exception if there really is a national security concern. But US Steel and Nucor appear to be doing OK in recent years. I’m open to tariffs if we really need them to defend a crucial industry.

PA, MI, WI and OH

These states saved us from Hillary. Trump promised he would bring jobs back so they voted for him. No one else could have won there. I think we have seen the last free trade Republican. You just can’t win the Electoral college with a promise to people jobs will go to make other countries better

I don't want OK. I want growth. And US Steel is re-opening a mill in direct response to Trump's actions. I guess you are the kind of free trader who sees OK as hunky-dory. I am not.

You say you have business experience, do you know what a captive company is? Imagine a Country that is in fact a Captive entity, then try and imagine what it means to a country to not be dependent on an enemy for its survival. That is what Trump recognizes, you don't apparently. We idon'thave a steel industry that can stand alone and produce all our needs.
