I’d extend it to be all tariffs, but common usage of free trade is to eliminate protective tariffs, import quotas, and the like. You know, the tariffs used by Reagan and espoused by you and many.

Don’t fall into the semantics trap these idiots are laying for you. They simply ignore questions that are inconvenient, and count on you to respond to everything they throw at you.

So by your "common usage" definition, you're contending that Ronald Reagan was not a free trader? Just want it to be clear.
