Tariffs lower everybody’s standard of living, except for a handful of privileged union thugs who benefit from higher prices.

Clearly you are uniformed. First of all tariffs are part of the US Constitution, they are the basis of income for FedGov™ and protection of US industries. It is consumption based which is also a good thing. Only a small part of the manufacturing sector is unionized . LESS THAN 10 PERCENT.

The lowered cost of off shore is not passed on to the consumer, it goes to increased corporate profit and the share holders. Many who are not US citizens.

GloBULLism is a catastrophe for the US economy, I hope we go towards protectionism in a big way.

Go Trump go!
