Huh!
It’s like NOBODY believes in Free Trade!

“Nationalism is a war where everyone loses”

We’re quaking in our boots here, Little Boy.
Like all the socialist liberals when you give them something like a trade policy that is one sided in their favor they now truly believe that this is their right they deserve it and you are the nazis
It sounds like he is advocating for retaliation.
Gosh, that would not be very free tradey of him.

To hell with them. And NR. And the Republicans in Congress who support this nonsense.
We need to get the European monkey off America’s back. Too many countries act like parasites to America.
