Exactly. Trump was handed Sophies choice. He chose to keep jobs here even though critics say it’s not the “conservative” thing to do.
It may not be the conservative thing to do, but its the -American- thing to do. Notice the constitution has no trade articles except the commerce clause. It does not enshrine any nutty theory that foreign trade should be completely divorced from government regulation, tariffs, and should freely undermine the nations independence or interests.
Time to be an American. Independence and freedom is Americas reason for being. Trade is a tool to that end.
Oh, this takes me back!
