I work in manufacturing. What trump is saying about China is right.
we build equipment in Shanghai and send it all over the world. If I want to send a lightbulb from the USA to China to put on my widget, it’s nearly fricking impossible. They have so many regulations in place to halt imports and protect Chinese manufacturing, it would be easier with a 100% tariff to import something.
You can prance about “tariff wars” and “free trade” all you want, but there already is a trade war going on, and we’ve collectively been told if we don’t let the Chinese kick us in the nuts every few days and say thank you, they’ll get angry and then we’ll really be sorry.
Ouch, Cruz just hit Rubio hard
