Here we go again.
Utter confusion between
- forced political globalization that tears down national sovereignty and political borders versus
- the voluntary cooperation between buyers and sellers in the open and free marketplace that is NO threat to national sovereignty or political borders, but prospers and strengthens a nation, its sovereignty and political borders.
Fixed it.
“- the voluntary cooperation between buyers and sellers in the open and free marketplace”
That does not, and has never existed in the history of world trade.
Smithsonian “Free Trade” is but a theory, unproven as it has never existed.
The nations of the world, from time immemorial, have practiced Mercantilism. Those who did not were picked clean and ceased to exist.
I hope you're right...the American System on which Trump's MAGA economic policy is based has been around since Alexander Hamilton.
Buyers and sellers are completely free to buy and sell with a tax in place.
Tariffs do not penalize earning of income.
China systematically stole U.S. industries .
china manipulated currency, used many unfair trade barriers etc. to steal and destroy U.S. factories,industries, wealth, Technology and manufacturing capability
In the last 30 years China has done the greatest theft in world history stealing most of the U.S.A's technology, patents, industries , markets,wealth, factories.
The USA is now a 3rd world country 20 tillion in debt because of you and Barack Obama who you agree with.
After ww2 the USA was on top of the world . Most of Asia and Europe were in ruins. Africa etc. were in the stone age . Most of the world was in the stone Age. Japan and China and U.S. politicians stole all the wealth of the USA which is why the USA is in debt for 20 tillion dollars and most of it to Japan and China.
30 years ago there was nothing in China . The USA built China where we could have built on top of what we had.
The USA doesn't have to trade with China. The USA can have free trade between states , cities ,companies individuals inside the USA. America first.
China has been waging an economic war against the USA for 30 plus years. Just as those don't see that Islam has also don't see that. America first . Fortress America.

We don’t have free trade with low-wage countries. Or at least we haven’t. Trump is the first president with the cajones to make “fair” trade an issue.
The threat to U.S. sovereignty stems from perpetual maintenance of a trade imbalance that enriches the global elites.
