Trump is the only president to help bring back middle class manufacturing jobs, by imposing serious tariffs on China.

We don't need tarrifs. If you want to bring back middle class manufacturing jobs, then repeal the myriad of EPA, OSHA, and other regulations that make it cost-prohibitive to make stuff here. Americans don't want to pay $2000 for a USA-made TV when a Chinese-made one costs them $200 and that's what you'll get with tariffs. And that's just another form of inflation.

Of course, Trump hired Scott Pruitt to do exactly this, take a blowtorch to the EPA. Unfortunately, Pruitt made liberals cry and Trump, always trying to please those who hate him, demanded Pruitt's resignation.

Sorry Charlie. We need tariffs. It is asinine for us not to apply tariffs when other countries use them against our goods.

Mr. Pruitt had been hailed by conservatives for his zealous deregulation, but he could not overcome a spate of questions about his alleged spending abuses, first-class travel and cozy relationships with lobbyists.

Mr. Pruitt also came under fire for enlisting aides to obtain special favors for him and his family, such as reaching out to the chief executive of Chick-fil-A, Dan T. Cathy, with the intent of helping Mr. Pruitt’s wife, Marlyn, open a franchise of the restaurant.

“pay $2000 for a USA-made TV when a Chinese-made one costs them $200”

This is such a stupid argument that has been trashed by High School debaters. Meke it here. Jobs here. Salaries here. Manufacturing ecosystem here. A $200 TV is too much when you don’t have a job cuz it’s all offshored. A $2,000 TV is affordable when everyone in your family is working and making a living, snd saving because you earn more than you need to survive, and buying homes because interest rates stay low.

For all the RdS Gangsters, and Florida Man diehards, can ya see that you’re wrong about everything, or do we have to make you look silly, point by point?

Florida Man is done, now and forever.
2028 is a no go.
He’s the JEB! of this cycle.

Because y’all are too butt hurt about mean tweets, you sabotage any hope for redemption.

If you would get behind our PDJT The GOAT, you can help.
If you talk to folks in those states and counties were the Theft will be attempted again, you can help.

Florida Man will not be the Nominee. No McRomBush will be either.

Get on the Trump Train, or you will be the ones that will be blamed.

You never ran a manufacturing business or was deeply involved in one. Your perspective is shallow and irrelevant. I spent 3 decades in manufacturing in executive positions.
