Trump’s? Yes. I have scanned https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/ For the most part they comprise an agreeable platform. He is most off base with tariffs that could fall into the “protectionist” category. A tariff is, of course, a tax. The American consumer is the one who pays them indirectly, one or more steps removed. And I am against creating protected classes of citizens by shielding them from natural competition from abroad. I don’t think Trump, however, is going to plunge the world into a depression via a tariff war against China and other countries. The world economy is already tanking. It will be much worse come February of next year.

You’re naive if you believe there are fair trading practices from abroad.
