Gotta say, you have your moments.
It's like you're ready to MAGA.
I never not been MAGA. You misunderstand me all these years. I don't care which tactics are used. Laissez faire capitalism or communism makes no difference to me. As long as the purchasing power of the consumer dollar starts rising again everything will eventually turn out okay.

Are tariffs a good thing or bad thing

Sounds like a problem where you live, my food costs have barely risen in 10 years.
So the video is claiming Chinese tariffs are hurting our lobster and salmon exports to China. Why is this a bad thing! I love lobster and salmon. And if it stops being shipped to Chine then there will be more supply here in the United States. And if there is more supply then the price will drop!!!

It was a joke I hope you got it .
And I referred to your position in the first post . Instant gratification isn’t realistic especially at the government levels. People were asking why the wall wasn’t built six months after Trump was in office . And they thought it was a valid point !
Let me ask you a question about tariffs .
If Trump wins the tariff battle in the coming year and exorbitant tariffs like on automobiles come down to our level.
Will it be a good thing or a bad thing ?
I ask similar questions with completely obvious answers all the time. The irritating thing is I never get an answer from a true Trump hater.
The answer of course is that it yes it would be a good thing.
But because of DTS people can’t give the honest answers because they can’t bring theirselves to say anything. That might remotely be considered as positive about Trump .
So what are you think ?

The China–United States trade war is an ongoing economic conflict between the world’s two largest economies, China and the United States.
The conflict, initiated by president of the United States Donald Trump has been characterized by increasing tariffs and other trade barriers with the goal of forcing China to make changes to its alleged "unfair trade practices".[1]

I was going to say the same... food costs for me haven't really changed in a decade.
Perhaps it's a problem with the way his state taxes goods...
Never fear, wikipedia isn't a valid source as its user generated.

So..Wiki says President Trump started the "Trade War".

China was charging high tariffs on items we exported to that nation. Finally, the U.S. decides to stop being shafted, and fight back.
Does GOOGLE own Wikipedia? Wiki says the Trade War is our fault, and Google search is hiding the fact that China has been ripping us off with high tariffs for many years.
