Yeah, 25% tariff on Chinese goods. Now there’s an intelligent solution for you. Seize all the Iraq oil, Libya’s too. Iran won’t have nukes because The Donald says they won’t. Given all that I don’t know if the question is whether Trump’s positions are above MSM paygrade or below the threshold of credulity.


And, your Free Trade Commie agenda is working?

Better to place a huge tariff on Communist Chinese goods and try to seize foreign oil. The latter we actually have done in the past....you may have been asleep in your history classes

Now I wonder if the whining about Trump is that he may actually do something against the Free Trade Communist Globalist agenda? I can see the morons who continue to push the Soros Globalist Agenda are quite afraid of Trump

No I was awake. It was called Smoot-Hawley and it was soooo successful during the depression, wasn't it?

Add a 25% tariff on Chinese goods and your raise the price of their goods to U.S. consumers 25%. A protective tariff is only good if there is a domestic industry to protect, and we destroyed our domestic consumer electronics, steel, and textile industries decades ago. China would no doubt retaliate by turning elsewhere for the goods they import from us. Trump's tariff would be a disaster.

Seizing foreign oil means seizing the land it sits on. And during those history classes that I stayed awake in I learned that colonialism is not something a rational state wants to pursue these days. But we're not talking rational, we're talking Trump.

Now I wonder if the whining about Trump is that he may actually do something against the Free Trade Communist Globalist agenda?

No, it's a realization that for all his big mouth and bluster, there is nothing Trump can do to make the changes he's claiming with the tactics he's promoting.
