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.

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?

Tariffs are sometimes necessary when trade agreement do not exist or are broken, as in the case of the south Korean tire issue some years ago.

Trump recently said that he bought thousands of TVs for his properties, he wanted to do business with Sony but they were too high a price and he went to south Korea...likely Samsung.

Then a few days later he spouts off that the world is screwing the US and that he would fix it.

I really have a hard time understanding what so called conservative freepers see in Trump, other than his no fear bravado.

I do not see how that translates into a president who is good for this country and constitution.
