Trump Tariffs

[GGT]

I don't think this is going to generate much discussion. I don't think a single person on this board thinks Trump is doing right with his BS tariffs.

On the balance still better than Clinton. Barring nuclear war its hard to overstate how important the SCOTUS pick was. Or the tax cuts. Or the cutting of red tape and getting rid of bad regs. And yes, the tears of liberals.

So you're willing to look the other way, and give Trump a pass on whack "trade policy" -- just like (R) in congress and other Trump apologists -- because you like some other stuff he's doing? It doesn't make sense (just like those corporate tax cuts that blew a $1 Trillion hole in our deficit). Either it's willful denial, cognitive dissonance, hypocrisy, or something else. Party loyalty? That can't mean much when traditional Republican principles are being trashed. Please explain!

There is no looking the other way. Just like I didn't like Bush's medicare expansion or steel tariffs I'm never going to agree with everything a president from either party will do. I think Trump has a lot of flaws but I'm also not going to ignore the good his administration has already done.
