So the stock markets have already taken a dip based on this announcement. No wonder, because tariffs invariably spark retaliations which damage growth for all involved, and cause disruptions to supply chains and international commerce. And if Obama's tire tariff is anything to go by, these tariffs will end up costing more jobs than they save. So a stupid decision all around, basically.

Indeed, and of course other countries don't impose tariffs so it's wrong for us to do what nobody else does.

It doesn't matter what other countries do. Their actions don't change the fact that tariffs are bad policy that only serve to freeze up global trade.
Really, the only use for tariffs is as leverage in negotiations to open up markets, and no-one should be under the illusion that it is actually a good thing to have them. The long term goal should be to eliminate such barriers, if possible.

I'm aware. But they will soon go into effect, and the markets and global community are reacting with great concern because tariffs are stupid and make everyone poorer.

Who knows really, might be scare tactics to get people to knock it off.

Rob Tried to pass off Ben Sasse as "Trumps base", failed horribly. Instead of admitted he was wrong or was misleading he did his usual trolling.

Anyhow, this failure should go in the Trump thread. No need to make a new thread every time Trump says or plans to do something stupid, imagine the cluster.
