However, Hillary and friends can flip this and use it against Mr. Trump by illustrating increase in the costs of goods
Can or will Mr. Trump flip it back by illustrating the benefits? If so what are the benefits aside from retaliation?
“OK, Fair enough. Its a negotiating ploy. (a good one, a necessary one)
However, Hillary and friends can flip this and use it against Mr. Trump by illustrating increase in the costs of goods”
It’s true, and they already have.
“Can or will Mr. Trump flip it back by illustrating the benefits? “
Maybe. He’s not a polished politician and so the way he communicates is not what we’re all used to.
“If so what are the benefits aside from retaliation? “
The benefits are: more products get manufactured here in the US, so more good jobs, albeit at a higher cost.
The establishment fears ALL this because then China stops buying US Treasuries (the only thing they buy from us), and fedgov revenue plummets.
