Yes, the tariff policy is wrong. But the real problem is that trump is wrong about everything. He is arrogant and ignorant and he does not care if he creates problems for everyone in America as long as he and his family and friends can continue to steal the country blind. Actually, the real problem is that Republicans - who have the power to stop the insanity tomorrow - are cowards and traitors.
There are very few tariffs that are net/net positive. In college I spent a summer working for USSTR, and we went around the country asking businesses about trade and tariffs. They all said tariffs were bad…but that their businesses were vital for national security and needed protection!
David - tariffs? Protectionism? Terrible interference in the free market economy! …wait, were you asking about favoritism for MY business? Oh well that’s different… 😉

That experience must have been fascinating!
Exactly right! And it was eye opening for a 20-year-old.
Terrific real world lesson at a young age!
