Oh goodie, a Cruzbot. We’re already in a trade war, genius, we’re just not shooting back.
You win trade by lowering barriers and competing not by raising barriers. The US is not an island anymore. You can’t hide from the world, it will simply pass you by if you try. Japan was supposed to be the great trade predator in the 80’s and was going to own the US. It didn’t work out that way. It won’t work that way with China either. Slaves have a way of throwing off their “masters” and as their standard of living increase so will their costs bring them in line with the rest of the world.
If you want to compete, start by removing the yoke on American business, endless rules and taxes.
