I used the word in terms of international trade.
Closing our borders to all imports is obviously out of the question. Opening the borders to all imports is equally foolish. We have to strike a balance. And there is no bumper sticker ideology that can accomplish that...it’s a complex subject with complex solutions.
Well, no. We’re not “trading”. That would imply a two-way exchange. The current situation is not trade, it is simply a sellout.
We’re selling out. Or more accurately, being sold out. A very few people are becoming incredibly wealthy, by selling America’s capabilities to hostile foreign powers.
Enough!

Closing our borders to imports is not “out of the question”. It might be inconvenient for you as an importer but it is certainly not, out of the question.
In fact that is looking more and more, like the solution.
Close our borders. Yes.
Close them to imports.
Then we negotiate. From a position of strength.
