So you have nothing to say about the facts presented to you in your thread that refute your opinion?
Oh, your a socialist. Well that explains why you don't know what you're talking about. Just going against anything Trump does. I'm sure if Bernie proposed this you'd be falling all over yourself to tell us how awesome it was.

Imagine if the US got a better deal as a result.
What if it makes everything more expensive, are your a gambling man?

But of course it's Trump, so the obligatory, "Ahhhh! We all gonna die! Ahhhhh!"

Then we will make trade deals with other countries. This is a long-term strategy, not short-term.

I think you're missing the point.
-The current trade deals were heavily lopsided against US interests.
-Continuing those deals did not benefit the US at all.
-Trumps actions are just the logical thing to do, and should have been done long ago.
-These new tariffs will not remain long, but they will bring the parties involved together to reach mutually beneficial deals.

The US has been getting screwed on bad trade deals for years.
Countries that use slave labor are able to undercut US prices and drive down labor in the US.
The many failures in infrastructure in the US are due in large part to crappy foreign steel.

Lopsided for who? The consumer? Nope..
For what jobs? Nope
Literally no economists free market or kenesian think this is a good idea.
What is the desired outcome more factory work?
