Lots of people have said they wanted "America first", but without thinking their efforts ended up helping the Nazis. Easy talk without hard thinking doesn't to America any good.
These days we hear that less people in the US are employed than ever before. The mere fact that this is not true doesn't seem matter because they hear everyone saying it's so.
Same with this talk about falling wages. Sure, totaling up actual wages is hard work, same with counting people working, but some of us do it for a living and everyday we see how truly great the American workforce is and how wrong all this talk is.
America doesn't need more taxes. Fortunately we don't pay Chinese tariffs, the Chinese do and that's their problem. We do have to pay the import taxes that democrats tell the feds to raise but imo the less taxes the better.
