Ok so you disagree with Trump, how would you solve the problem?
Maybe you want to define "the problem" first.
The economy is moving well, right?
So what are you trying to fix?
Trump hates the trade deficit.
But a trade deficit is simply one entity buying more from another than they buy from you.
I have a trade deficit with the grocery store.
I could make my own food but it's more time efficient for me to work for money and buy food from them.
The problem isn't having a trade deficit with China as much as what China has leveraged to get there.
They don't have a minimum wage. Their working conditions are horrible.
But we are addicted to the cheap goods.
Maybe go after Apple and Nike.
This is literally word for word the response I would expect from DiscoGary incredible! Dude your literally making the case that republicans have been making for decades and democrats have been against. Your actually telling me that this whole time youve been right wing on trade haha?
For me the I see the tariffs as a bargaining chips as long as they aren't permanent they are a good thing to improve trade for the US long term. But you literally just made a far right wing argument for trade just to be against Trump incredible!
