So manufacturing back to Communist China and jobs to India as most FreeTraitors want?

No thank you.

Raise tariffs so that foreigners pay for the privilege of selling goods here.

Lower personal income taxes in parallel with tariff increases.

If tariffs are barriers to trade, so are reductions in after-tax purchasing power by Americans.

Trump is literally, seriously, the ONLY reasom there is still a Republican presence in our leadership.

There are a couple now, who are starting to look like they could take the role in four years.

But Trump literally, saved the entire GOP.

They were poised to literally give away, our futures.

Single-handedly.

Guess what Lil’ Steven, a “v” shaped recovery has been in effect for five months now and holding China’s feet to the fire is doing just fine. In fact more please.

SO...owners of multi-nationals can get richer while the middle class loses more manufacturing jobs?

What election did Stephen Moore win?
I am familiar with him, he is a multi-national Wall Street type. He could not care less how tightly the middle class tits are being squeezed.

Once “ 2-weeks to flatten the curve “ became indefinite, open-ended shutdowns of the economy at the whim of idiot/tyrannical governors, any chance of a ‘V-shaped recovery’ evaporated.

The problem with “free trade” is that we buy everything from them while they buy nothing from us.

The trade is all in one direction. The sucking sound you here is the global leaches taking advantage of USA consumers while protecting their own economic labor. I am looking at you China, Mexico, France, Germany.

The trade imbalance has been going on for decades.

You are wrong. While there is an imbalance, the trade is not all in one direction with any of the countries you noted

The Presidents actions are to increase American exports and the related jobs

Moore would come across as less of a shill if he would recognize how vulnerable his simple globalist ideology has made the US and if he would acknowledge such national defense needs and effective counters where two of his three examples—the metals and fertilizer—are concerned.

They still don't see the handwriting on the wall. If we didn't have Trump, the RINO would be extinct. Marxist rioting is the thing that is saving their sorry sad asses.

A recent survey published in CivicScience found "71% of Americans indicated they are at least somewhat concerned about the impact of recent trade policies and tariffs on their household expenses in the month of April."

Shows how push polling works. I doubt this one is in the top hundred of any thinking persons concerns right now.
