Trump is right. Tariffs are about the only genuinely constitutional form of revenue for the FedGov - and there’s a reason for that.

Yes, originally that is accurate. Your point is, unquestionably, not without merit. Even men who founded a country to, in large part, celebrate free markets, understood that some tariffs were not only allowable, but in some instances, necessary.

Trump said the government could use the revenue collected from the tariffs to pay down the national debt and that it would give the current and future U.S. manufacturers a chance to effectively compete and provide jobs for Americans. It would enhance the quality and safety of the goods that we purchase and reverse the loss of our manufacturing companies.

It would give a resounding “HELL NO” to the NWO elites who are destroying our economy.
