I am in total agreement with Mark Levin on free trade, and mark has a lot more inside experience on this issue then most.

Tariffs and trade barriers, of the kind that Trump is selling to his populist base, is exactly the sort of thing that causes and has caused recessions, depressions, and even global trade wars.

Long ago conservatives took a position in favor of free trade and against regulatory interferences.

But every now and then, as memories fade, some candidate comes along and wants to return to it.

You do that only because you are ignorant of the cause and effects of the past and have failed to learn from it.

But he is a free trader, as am I.

Well that clears things up a bit!☺

Btw, I love slick phrases like, "Undocumented immigrant", "Free trade" "Gay". It's all sounds so good, happy, free and made legal!

No sale on free trade. I've heard the talking points. Have not seen the America decline over the past couple decades? How many of his big$ "investors" are invested or connected to these trade agreements?

There is nothing wrong with import taxes, fees, tariffs when it serves the America people's best interest. I see nothing but foreigners and foreign products. Is that in our best interest?

Have not seen the American middle class decline over the past couple decades?

Just curious, how many of his big$ “investors” are invested or connected to these trade agreements?

We don’t have free trade deals (other than with Canada for the most part) they are ship jobs out of America deals and hurt us badly. These trade deals need to renegotiated and if they don’t equally benefit Americans then let tariffs be the penalty.
