    It’s like he doesn’t understand tariffs… It’s hurting your country.

    If you put a tariff, it increases the price you’re paying. It makes the goods more expensive for your industry and your population. It makes your industry less competitive as your industry has to sell at higher prices.

    Then comes the reciprocal tardif what makes your industry even less competitive. Putting more tardif will hurt your industry.

    Did he say “he was the champion of the industry” or whatever similar? Well people voted for the person who doesn’t know what 2+2 makes.

      Thing is, America isn’t Trump’s country. Not in any patriotic sense. Far as he is concerned, it is just a random McDonald’s he can ransack and sell off in pieces to whoever can pay him.
