What Trump can do is to prevent America from buying so much imported goods, by making them more expensive by TAXING IMPORTS.
We need more revenue, and we need jobs back.
Tax imports. Big time.
The traditional argument against that was that the free market would win out. I’m not sure that is the case vs. a massive quasi-slave-labor society like China, any more than it was true in the American South. There, it took government action and eventually a war to undo the gubment support of the slave system. So, in this case, I wouldn’t be opposed to tariffs on Chinese originated goods.
Trump cannot impose taxes or tariffs, nor can any other president. That has to be done by Congress...
How can he do that?
