I’m sure the millions of people who lose their jobs when our trading partners retaliate will be thrilled.

You seem to have forgotten which country is the greatest CONSUMER. WE ARE! We bring manufacturing and jobs back to the U.S. and the trading “partners” that have been raping us for decades will be held to account. I DO NOT agree that these so called “partners” can dictate to us, even though it seems to be the thinking and the aim of the GLOBALISTS. I am an American. I believe in America. Time some of you gloom and doom wimps found out where your loyalties lie. Trump loves America. He will renegotiate our so called treaties to be fair. Anyone who has ever done any real business knows that any deal worth making has to be good for both sides. We have not been fairly treated and it is long past time people understand that STRENGTH and RESPECT need to be appreciated. The US is the largest CONSUMER in the world. Long past time we used that FACT to our advantage!
We may be the world's largest single consumer but we're still a small portion of the global market.
We can put in 20% tariffs, but we'll be killing our ability to sell to the rest of the world - which is where the growth is.
Do you think Ford would rather have competition in the US reduced via tariffs or have the ability to compete to sell Fords to the rest of the world?
