I support Trump but sharply disagree with his views on trade which are basically about imposing tariffs (taxes) which in turn hurt the American consumer and the American economy and are thus counter-productive, and utterly fail to attack the underlying root causes of businesses fleeing America.

Are u kidding.

Do this> Tariffs on countries without fair cost of labor, ie. Asia and all if Latin America where low cost of labor because of no social services and little regulation combined with traded deals send jobs over seas and have created near serdfom here, for those without College Edu. Also, tariffs incentivize companies to stay on shore. And yes it will work. Higher wages always better than cheap stuff.

Don't worry, the Congress will have to pass such things. I think President Trump will work with the People to achieve consensus on any issues where there is sharp division, or many factors to consider...
