OK, but if you erect trade barriers you are, by definition, excluding yourself from 75% of the global market.

We were a great country when we had tariffs. They are not barriers but are a way to equalize the playing field. You and all those who insist on the STUPID idea that we should continue our same old same old self destruction because of some misconception are demanding that we try to nail a floorboard with no hammer in the toolbox!
That part of the world economy is mostly OUR Effort, inventions, dollars, and genius. I am no longer and never was willing to sacrifice our economy to a Communist world control.

We can and WILL build back our economy and our strength as a nation by wisely using the whole toolbox, not just the things some people think are politically correct.
