Let’s Boot the World Off Welfare

I see a lot of people, including RINO’s, criticizing Trump for increasing tariffs on foreign goods. The ignorance is amazing.

No one can answer this simple question for me: if tariffs are bad for an economy, how come they’ve been so good for the economies of the countries that put unfair tariffs on our exports?

How can it be that a practice that benefits all of our economic enemies can harm us when we do it to a lesser degree?

Another question: since Trump’s tariffs are tied directly to the tariffs and barriers imposed by other countries, if we want to get rid of them, why don’t we pressure the other countries instead of attacking our president? They can lower OUR tariffs in an hour by lowering their own.

I don’t know how well Trump’s tariff fight will work out, but I can’t see any reason at all why it shouldn’t be a whopping success. Sure, it’s hard on the stock market. Temporarily. Real investors know that the success of a market is measured in decades, not days. This is probably a great time to buy depressed stocks sold off by people with weak hands. “Weak hands” is the term career investors use to ridicule those who sell their stocks every time they dip. The people who buy high and sell low.

The US has the largest internal market in the world, meaning we have the big stick to beat everyone else with. Liars say the EU is the biggest, but that’s propaganda. The US is the biggest in terms of money spent, and that’s all that counts. The EU’s market is about half the size of ours. If you want to sell stuff to foreigners, you want to sell in the US. When the US blocks you, you’re like a diaper manufacturer who can’t sell to Walmart. You’re done.

Let’s see how we’re doing in 6 months.
