There is a method to this madness.
President Trump is playing the long game, which politicians HATE.
We HAVE been taken advantage of and the way that has worked is by just letting cheaper goods in from elsewhere via illegal/unfair low wages or illegal/unfair government subsidies.
But we get cheap goods so no one squawks except those in the affected industries and who cares about them, right?
Now we put a stake in the ground, make it clear we mean it and the RESTART the trade process from an even footing.
But few people can see this. I am NOT aggrandizing myself as “smarter than the rest.” I like to think Conservatives in general can see this.”
This is not about cheap labor or cheap goods.
Trump is working to convince the EU to buy more American cars which they presently will not allow into their country.
He has the winning argument.
