Free trade does put America first. It will ensure that America remains the dominant economy.

Isn't it time we put America first -- even ahead of China? China has enough economic power now to thwart any move the US might make towards protectionism.
Witness the recent Schumer trade bill imposing a 27% tariff - it got killed by the administration in a deal with the Chinese to continue purchasing our Treasury debt.
BTW if that bill had not been killed, and the Chinese repatriated $1 trillion of US bonds, the dollar would have plunged 25-40% after yuan revaluation.
USA, meet Argentina.
