(the final paragraph in the article)

No one can say for certain what the outcome of President Trump’s tariffs and other trade policies will be. But it’s in America’s interest for the president to do his best to eliminate trade barriers, level the playing field and shrink our trade deficit.

What really will happen is that our trade partners will drop or significantly lower THEIR tariffs on our goods, and we will either drop or lower the proposed tariffs on their goods.

In any event, it will be an improvement from our standpoint, which is all that matters in these issues.

No one can say for certain what the outcome of President Trump’s tariffs and other trade policies will be.

There are voices and points on multiple sides of the debate... but the two points I keep falling back to: 1. Most other nations use tariffs, so I do not give one tinker's damn how they feel about ours... and 2. Trump hasn't done much wrong on the economy so far. He's earned the free pass to give this a shot. And for all we know, it may just be a short-term negotiation tactic. Let's give the man a chance, and see how it goes.

None of these avaricious A-holes will win.

They trade more with us than we do with them.

Socialist pussies will cave quickly..

Yeah, that’s great. Could I just see a comparison of Trump’s credentials for making these decisions with those of his critics?

Well it's gonna help domestic produced with domestic sales, as the imports wont be able to undercut our price.

It's not gonna affect foreign sales of our products as their tariffs are already creating an unfair advantage for their products.

It will be nice to see labels with “Made in America “ on them again.

Trump did not start a trade war.
Other countries have been taking advantage of us for decades.
Trump wants a level playing field, as most of us do.

If President Trump’s proposed tariffs bring manufacturing back to the USA and level the playing field, that’s good enough for me. To me, it’s all about manufacturing in the USA. The deal with Harley Davidson building bikes in Poland shows how the EU has used tariffs to lure manufacturing out of the USA.

At the G-7, Trump asked that everyone do away with tariffs. No one wanted to so he’s twisting their arms.
