Speaking of....

....I’ve been listening all week to tariff talk and this G7 conference.

Let me admit, I have absolutely no idea what a tariff is.

I will study up on it.

What I do know is that for years other countries have been using and abusing the good intentions of the American people AND the politicos who probably got paid off (think Clinton, Obama and Dubya) to allow the tariffs.

This is what Trump is bringing to the table and they hate him for it.

Basically, it a fine for selling ones goods in a foreign country.
In China if we sell cars to them from the U.S. the fine/tariff is 25%. If they sell cars to us the fine/tariff is 2.5%. Hardly fair we pay ten times what they pay and its been like that forever with every country in the world.
No U.S. President the guts to take on the tariff issue.
Finally Trump is doing the hard task of righting the wrongs of the US.
