I would be afraid too if I were agreeing with Pat.
But you likely aren’t agreeing with him, you are just agreeing on a couple of specific facts in this whole debacle. Undoubtedly, you don’t agree that the solution to all this is to stop trading with foreign countries and build a giant wall around the U.S. to protect union jobs in the upper midwest. And you probably don’t think that we should have put our hands over our eyes and watched WWII happen without us simply because Hitler ‘really wasn’t that bad’ and the real cause of WWII was Churchill trying to protect Poland and France.
Getting into bed with Buchanan on anything is a suicide pact. It’s a short plank and everybody else has to walk it with him when he makes his next wackjob claim - and the GOP will always get tarred with the same brush.
It was only a temporary condition. ;>)
Not here to defend Pat, but even he doesn't espouse that, unless you think "free" trade is the only type of trade.
