To repeat, Bush instituted a tariff on steel in 2002 and 200,000 American jobs were lost. Trump's steel tariff is as harsh or harsher. So how is Trump's tariff good while Bush's was a disaster?

G.W. Bush and his pappy, Bush I, were unmitigated economic failures so anyone hitching their wagon to these stalwart, 'free' trade Republicans, simply needs their head examined.
The Bushies,
true Republican and
staunch 'free' traders by the way,
both destroyed the US economy during their tenure and as a result, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were eventually elected as a result.
You keep mentioning this silly example of W. imposing steel tariffs ... yet he
recinded them and the trade deficit still grew larger, and more blue collar union guys still lost their jobs .... how come? The tariff couldn't have done all that since Bush rescinded them as you tell us.
