President Trump’s Thursday decision to begin the process of keeping his campaign promise to protect the American industrial base by imposing tariffs on imported steel and aluminum has seemingly gotten everyone in a tizzy, oddly uniting Big Business, top globalists, the IMF, the GOP Establishment and even liberal Democrats, all of whom never agree on anything yet are united that this particular decision will mean nothing short of an economic apocalypse for the United States.

If it is upsetting Big Business, top globalists, the IMF, the GOP Establishment and liberal Democrats then it is most likely a good thing for the People of the United States.

Agreed and the GOP needs to hammer this home in ads, especially in the Rust Belt states. The Democrats are not the party of the rank and file Union laborer, but the GOP has been piss poor on trade as well, until Trump.

I added Euro Trash Countries, and the ChiComs to your excellent list.

If it is upsetting Big Business, top globalists, Euro Trash Countries, the ChiComs, the IMF, the GOP Establishment and liberal Democrats then it is most likely a good thing for the People of the United States.

These days, we don’t have to be experts on what President Trump proposes.

We just have to look at the elites screaming that it will be the end of the world. Then we know that his proposal means MAGA!

There is about 200,000 pounds of aluminum in a Boeing 777. The raw aluminum is about 1 dollar a pound. A 10% tariff would add around 20,000 dollars to the cost of an aircraft that sells for 300 million dollars.

The added cost is irrelevant.
