Trump thinks tariffs are a good idea, so who knows?

So did the founders.

The Founders engaged in robust debate. Each was educated and literate as compared to politicians today. Tariffs or wage and price control such as Nixon made us endure have disastrous long-term consequences.

Trump will make America great again by removing barriers to free enterprise: regulation and taxation. Business left our shores solely to lower costs. Our prices stayed low when inflation and strangulation of business depressed our economy over the decades solely through slave labor in China and unregulated business environments like Red China's.

Occam's Razor requires the simplest explanation of American Free Enterprise's collapse: over-regulation and taxation at every step of a business transaction. Add to that inflated money supply where a $20 gold piece sells for $1200 on the free market and we've named the main factors which Trump ought to focus upon as the Executive Branch head. BTW, not trying to lecture you, HTB. This is on my mind.
