I think what Trump is doing with the tariffs is a wake up call for most of us. How many of us knew all these countries had tariffs and we were running a deficient year after year.

Let's keep going....see some results...big thing is...we want jobs for Americans...these young folks get out of college and jobs just aren't there.

And these kids in college have to learn to go for something beyond Social Work 101 and English lit..

I know I have, but they are right. Probably, most people don’t understand how tariffs work and why many times, they are necessary.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum didn’t ‘cave’ she made a wise choice for her country and for our. Why the hell is the press always against our country?

In Trump’s first term there was that North American Trade Agreement between USA, Canada and Mexico. What happened to that and wasn’t the issue of tariffs resolved back then?

So the goal is (obviously) free trade (or else). So far so good.

Some other countries' governments may prefer reciprocal tariffs on some goods. That's also OK.

Just no more one sided sticking to to Uncle Sap.

untold illegal immigration forced on the US by Canada and Mexico. Huge drug flows across both borders.

Americans murdered by these untold millions of illegal immigrants.

Cartels buying politicians outright.

Immigrant gangs taking over cities.

Need more ?

First they laugh at you, then they call you a Nazi, then they declare war on you, then they shut up and do as they are told.

Apologies to Mahatma Ghandi.
