Tariffs have side effects, but McCaskill doesn't even know what she is talking about - the Mexican / Canadian tariffs are what caused this issue with the plant not the Chinese ones.

They’re lying. They can get plenty of wire that’s made in the U.S.A., as at least two suppliers have said. And all of the nail manufacturers will have the same supplier conditions.

The regime of colluding with foreign nations against the people of the U.S.A. must come to an end. The balance of payments deficits from wrongful trade practices have driven the piles of debt too high to continue playing the game of dumping on one’s own neighbors and countrymen.

America: love it or leave it.

McCaskill’s lying, too. Most of the farmers and the property owners they depend on are against globalism in trade. That’s why they voted for President Trump, and they knew that the transition back to making America great again would include the market fluctuations.

The Democrats and their MSM protectors are all over the political road map when it comes to economic issues. Trump is promoting policies that are protecting American jobs, reducing our lopsided trade deficits, and giving our domestic industrial base a much needed lift. Democrats have been advocating for American-centered economic policies for decades. Now, they’re all free trade, open borders and foreign labor supporters!

” could”

It’s the media’s portrayal of Trump’s effurts to get Choina to play by the rules that helps McCaskill.
Just as intended.

Total BS!

MidContinent Nail is a Mexican owned business, or at least Mex. shared ownership!

Since when do Mexicans care about American citizens losing their jobs or livelihoods?

So Canada, Mexico have meddled in midterm elections with tariffs.

The democrats support protectionism because their union masters tell them to, so McCrapskul campaigning against it is hilarious.

The cost of steel in the bike is a miniscule percentage. The much bigger costs are labor, overhead and taxes. The Trump tax cut way more than offset any increase in steel prices. Harley did all this for show. Not appreciated!!!

Europe sales are only 16% of the total. The people that buy them there are not going to be influenced by a bump in the EU tariff on motorcycles.
