this demonstrates trumps pitiful understanding of the modern US economy.

It demonstrates his lack of understanding of economics in general. But if we know anything about modern conservatism it’s that 90% of them will get in line because it’s our team v. Their team.

So if I’m understanding correctly the tariff is being invoked using some kind of loophole that allows a country to impose trade restrictions in times of war.

Weird that none of the Trump defenders have posted in this thread.

The man is delusional on economic policy. Trade deficits are not a bad thing for wealthy countries.

But at least we're putting the squeeze on all those damned foreign car manufacturers!
