I’m reading the article amazed at how obtuse the writer is. Trump has been explicit about his position on trade and tariffs. He has said that free trade with zero barriers is the ideal and that he will use tariffs or the threat of tariffs where necessary to either a) achieve the ideal or b) to protect ourselves from countries who won’t cooperate in achieving the ideal. In other words he perfectly weds free trade theory with real world pragmatism. Trump has squared the circle but these guys are too dense to see it — although it is encouraging that this writer at least has an inkling. Maybe he will share his discovery of the obvious with others of his ilk.
Isn't it amazing? Every day I learn more about how different the progressives' view of the world is from mine. It's as if they are too lazy or inexperienced to think things through. And it seems that those that do understand spout nonsense to take advantage of the others.
