President Donald Trump is responding to a trade war — not starting one — he inherited by pursuing a “level playing field” via tariffs, wrote former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Monday.
Palin pointed to comments made by Breitbart News’s Senior Editor-at-Large Rebecca Mansour last Thursday about Trump’s proposals to combat “economic warfare” waged by China to destroy America’s steel and aluminum manufacturers.

The “Trump Doctrine” illustrates the president’s wisdom via his “private sector experience,” wrote Palin:
President Trump inherited this trade war, and he’s an atypical politician determined to actually do something to fix the problem. The Trump Doctrine involves finally enforcing rules and standards to level the playing field — which proves the wisdom of private sector perspective brought to the White House.
President Trump is consistent on tariffs. He’s preached about fair competition via tariffs for decades, so why all this feigned shock at his recent proposal?
No matter though, because middle class Americans concerned about our industrial demise “get it.” And we see the heads exploding over this issue sit atop career bureaucrats, globalists and typical politicians who’ve done nothing to fix trade imbalances… which pretty much says it all.

“Sarah Palin: Trump Is ‘Trying to Win’ a Trade War ‘We’ve Been Fighting for Decades’”
Of course she’s right on the mark. Let’s have that “trade war”, but make damned sure we win.
No pain, no gain! It will eventually settle out. This is an economic “intervention” that is long overdue! It will be like turning around a crack head! It will take time to ramp-up these industries again where they used to be, while weaning this country from cheap quality foreign goods that undercut the workers/companies of this great nation.
Where is the gain for those paying more? Where is the gain for those who lose their jobs as a result of the trade war? For all but a handful of people I only see pain.

So you really think that all those jobs will come flowing back and the people of the U.S. will gladly pay the much higher prices for American made goods? Really?
She’s right....again! :)
Sarah 'gets it'...
Place me on the Palin ping list, please!
:) Say no more ntnychik, happy to have you on!
