Nauseating hypocrisy. The EU’s tariffs aren’t protectionism; only Trump’s are.

The entire European Union has aged into a demographic collapse. They do not have enough consumers to consume the products they produce. This means there can never be a US trade surplus with the EU. After the cold war, the US patrolled the global oceans with our navy, and opened up the US market to the goods of our allies, so they could export their way back to solvency. But this solvency came at the expense of the American worker...which, over time was taken as a given. Globalization was a moment in time when everything more or less worked...but the moment is over. Most of the rest of the world is in demographic collapse. They don’t have the younger consumers and workers needed to keep their economies at the level they were used to. Also, they all became socialist, giving away lots of benefits that they can no longer afford. Trump changed the rules and now Biden is trying to get back to what the world’s economy looked like years ago. But the EU can’t let the US sell products over there as they make more than enough to have and to export. Also, US products, without the socialist tax burden, are better deals.

Turning the clock back to the way it was will be a double-whammy to the American economy.

“Ten percent for the Big Guy” is certainly easier to understand than Trump’s policies.
