China and other countries want to sell me goods at a cheap price. Trump wants to put a stop to that in order to appease the visible victim, the angry unemployed widget worker. The invisible victims are much greater in number and any tariff or "fair trade" is awful for them. Who in their right mind complains when something is getting sold at a cheap price?
It is time to put America first and stop Trump from increasing the price Americans pay for foreign goods.

I’ve got a Rolex for you, very inexpensive.
It must hurt to be so stupid.
Somebody hasn’t been listening.
I was talking to my mom this morning, and she is a very wise lady and she summed up Trump like this- “ He doesn’t listen to anybody, whether he’s right or wrong, he just does. That’s what this country needs right now.”
I thought that was pretty good.
When did POS unmarked vanities become ok?
PROPHETIC WORD GIVEN ABOUT DONALD TRUMP

Its not cheaper if the result is your brother-in-law is unemployed and you’re feeding him.
Price an IPhone, Nike shoes or a Polo shirt. You are really ignorant.
Auto manufacturing, steel mills, heavy equipment manufacturing, aren’t widgets.
Also, the thousands and thousands of textile workers that lost their jobs didn’t consider themselves widget makers.
You do realize that we can no longer produce all the stuff we need for our military? How cheap will those pieces be if we need them and cannot get them? This is a very ignorant post.
There is no comparison between paying a few bucks more for a hammer and the soul-crushing status of being long-term unemployed. The American hammer will cost less over lifetime than the cheap Chinese product. American ingenuity and cheap fuel will eventually eliminate the price gap you are worried about.
This means that what they spend their surplus dollars on is not our goods but our government bonds.
This means that our government has more money to spend on entitlements.
Ergo, no jobs for workers, just more free stuff.
This is what Trump wants to fix.
I don’t often talk to free traitors, but when I do I say “yes, I’ll have fries with that”.
I care about American textile workers as much as I care about those farriers who who lost their jobs one hundred years ago with the advent of gas-powered vehicles.
It must hurt to be so stupid.
I am going to guess it doesn’t hurt him. They say ignorance is bliss.
and keep wages low.
stinks of Keynes
Your complete ignorance of macroeconomics is staggering.
Trade is one thing, but Exporting All means of Production to 3rd world hellholes using slave labor to now produce cheaper goods, and then import them duty free, has destroyed the Middle Class as it was designed to do. It is NOT FREE TRADE, it is National Suicide!
Farriers went out because horse-drawn travel went out.
You and I are still wearing clothes. Textile workers are still very much employed. They just aren’t Americans.
