Good for him! The corporate butt suckers are miffed that he can’t be bought as easily as the cheap whores currently infesting DC.

Trump sounds like something of a nationalist. Incidentally, Free Trade was something that Karl Marx supported, as he felt it would undermine national borders and national sovereignty.

China steals our companies’ IP, restricts access to their markets and takes advantage of virtual slave labor in order to export poison laced items to the US. I can see a case being made to protect US interests given the non-level playing field.

What ever happened to protecting American interests when and where possible, especially when other countries or the EU protects their concerns?

now a 25% tax rate on Chinese goods is completely unreasonable and out of the question. What we need to do is equalize the tariffs and taxes they impose on our imports. Surely that wouldn’t be 25% .... or would it be quite a bit more?

The dirty animal doesn’t support the race to the bottom for the American middle class. He reeks of communism, stone him with pebbles that have the image of Ayn Rand on them.

It has been a long time but if I remember correctly the United States Government was totally funded by fees and Tariffs until the income tax was created.

As an earlier poster stated we as a nation are being bled dry by other nations.

I have really tried to buy American but there is so much cheap stuff from China that is appears to have pushed out any American made product.

I am not an economist (I work for a living) but it seems to me that free trade has been more harmful than helpful to the American people.

Sure we have had access to cheap goods but that is only because we could not see the real price of those goods.

Trump is a statist, He is anti-property rights for regular people, and anti-2nd Amendment. Anyone who supports him is an ignorant buffoon. Real heavy on the ignorant.

IMHO...
In 6-8 months when the field starts to really show itself, our economy is going to be damn near un-recoverable (if it isn't that way already). Trump is going to run circles around any and all on that front. On the opposite side, he doesn't give a damn what people think so I have no doubt he's going to call it like he see's it and America is yearning for that right about now. No D.C. speak, politician double speak, none of it. Straight talk and from the gut.

China are no capitalists, and Trump is right to want to punish them for their trade abuses, currency manipulation, and violation of intellectual property rights. Until China wants to grow up and become a responsible member of the international community, we should not be enabling them to beggar (bugger?) the American economy.

uh i believe the 25% tax on China is a threat, not preferred policy. if they were to play fair as far as trade and currency i don’t believe the 25% tax is something he actually supports in a level playing field.

i mean come on that took about 25 seconds to figure out.

But what if a 25% tarrif on Chinese imports produces more US jobs, more US products, more tax revenue for the treasury?
