I don’t disagree with the GOP leadership on this right now. There are a lot of things right here in the U.S. that have to be fixed before tariffs are even considered. It’s one thing to use a tariff to remedy an unfair trade practice, but we shouldn’t use tariffs to mask serious inefficiencies and dysfunction in our own economic system.

Exactly! You nailed it. And what do you say to those here who state “we’ve always had Tariffs and they work?”
The fact is, Trump (and US companies and US workers) need to address economic inefficiencies here.
Excessive business regulation is one place to start. As Reagan said, get gov’t out of the way.
