I noticed FOX Business was swarming with never-Trumpers today, like Charlie Gasparino and some former Bush people, slamming Trump for beating up on their Chinese buddies, by saying “there’s a better way of dealing with China other that tariffs, blah blah blah”
I actually think there WAS a better way: a blizzard of complaints to the WTO on unfair trade practices by our partners. With 90% of our complaints being resolved in our favor normally, that would have worked out well for us, IMO.
That horse has already left the barn however. Trump is going with tariffs. He apparently doesn’t worry about the super-national WTO. With the exception of the general tariff on steel and aluminum — he can tariff these two things to the sky, for all I care, when it comes to imports from our adversaries — I support his effort.
The alternative, realistically, would be to simply support the status quo ante, which means further devolution of America into a strictly service economy as nefarious countries capture more and more of our manufacturing. WE would effectively become a client state of Europe, China, South America and the Middle East.
Pain in the short term, gain in the long term, hopefully.
Did they offer any suggestions to support their claim?
Or were they just out to spread poison?
This Bushbots were never on our side. Big surprise they can’t grasp what’s going on now.
They think Trump is ruining the nation.
Absolutely clueless...
Short matter of time, Fox won’t be fair and balanced but on the left fringes with the competition. I hate seeing Donna Brazille and Maryanne Marsh in the AM.
