no, he’s a protectionist. It’s amazing that you think all these companies that, say, foreign steel are losing. Are they losing when they turn that steel into cars, into farm equipment, into towers, into motor graders, into skid steers....into whatever....and create jobs and wealth in the meantime....HOW THE F is that “losing?”
I know you’re not going to like this, burt the conservative economic position is free and open trade. The socialist liberal economic position is the zero sum idea of protectionism. I know, you hate it, but it’s true. Just admit your’e a lib on this issue.
We are not going to have a lot of Mexicans voting for us. We need to make up those votes with blacks and whites and Trumps trade policies can do that. We absolutely need “Trump Democrats” and independents in our tent.
There is free trade and then there is stupid trade. Sadly you confuse the two and you don’t seem to be able to stop yourself.
You have been taken into the globalist industrial complex hive where you have been brain washed that free trade is all of our manufacturing leaving the country and H1-B visas entering the country to take way as many of the remaining good jobs as possible.
Any country that has the trade imbalances of the US is engaging in stupid trade.
Your economic belief system is the GOPe wetdream. You are the establishment.
And if it is not free and open?
Ronald Reagan protected America from being economically raped by Japan. The primary reason many Toyotas are assembled in the USA now is because of Reagan. Reagan's temporary protections saved the Harley-Davidson company. Reagan was the most conservative president in 50 years.
