What do you propose we do? This crap has been going on for years. I’ll give you a reading assignment. Go look at the “Hawley-Smoot Tariff” and get back with me.

Tariffs seem to be just fine for other countries to do to us. I never suggested we raise tariffs in the U.S. I said other countries are impeding our free trade with them by using tariffs and we do nothing about it. There are other ways to voice our displeasure short of creating tariffs ourselves. And we should put the squeeze on any country doing it to us. Cut off their foreign aid from us for example.
