You may take the "short term pain", assuming without evidence and reasoning that it is short term, but what about the average American working stiff looking at a 10-15% increase in his cost of living? And that number comes from the Trump folk, so it might be a tad low.
The facts are that Trump is an economic illiterate, and his ideas are total nonsense, in the opinion of respected economists on both sides of the aisle. That is what my posts show, and what no Trumpette has even attempted to refute. This is not a partisan issue. Trump is dead wrong about the impact of tariffs on Americans. And the only response to facts and history and empirical evidence showing Trump is totally ignorant on the subject is MAGA and similar mindless slogans.

So here's a thought clocker.....
Would you agree that most everyone thinks Trump comes out of left field most of the time and is unpredictable??
I'll assume your answer is yes.....
With that being said, do you think its even in the realm of possibility to just get China, the EU, etc etc to the table on trade deals?
If nothing else, Trump is playing the hand he feels he was dealt. He may lose out, but...and here's the kicker...But he may obtain a little better deal in the long run.
You all have said how tarrifs hurt us...we get it!!
But who do you think is being hurt more at this point? Im looking at news out of China and teir stock market and since this "trade war" has started, they are getting their asses kicked!!!! Someone will have to blink first...…
Now you may say Trump has blinked by allowing some measure of leeway....
Lets see it play out.
