Trump is protectionist and we need protection. We've got 100 million Americans on food stamps, so how is your free trade working out for you? The price of cheap imports doesn't reflect the cost of supporting unemployed Americans. The price of cheap imports doesn't reflect the opportunity cost of having those Americans working, paying taxes, and spending into the American economy. The price of cheap imports doesn't even reflect the taxes domestic producers have to pay. We have tariffs so low there is actually a tax incentive for American companies to off-shore.
you've got government health care now. And Trump wants to repeal it and replace it. Trump has stated that he has never supported socialized medicine. He want's health care that is affordable. As well as some care provided for those that can't afford it. And really we've had that for a long time, whether it was the state run free health clinics or Medicaid or Obamacare supplements.
Saying we have 100 million on food stamps because of free trade just proves that you’re a total moron spewing nonsense about serious issues that you know nothing about.
It sounds like you belong on Democratic Underground.
“The price of cheap imports doesn’t reflect the cost of supporting unemployed Americans”
The price of cheap imports doesn’t reflect the actual cost of the items purchased.
90% of cheap imports are crap therefore requiring more purchases.
I have gone through THREE toasters in the last 10 years and I live alone. My first toaster lasted 20 years and there were seven of us using it for most of that time.
I’d be willing to pay double or more for quality.

Begging your pardon, FRiend, but Mr. Trump said that Canada and Scotland had a healthcare system “that works” during the most recent debate. Ask a Canadian or citizen of GB how well it works...
Have you considered maybe the Sanders campaign might suit you better? At least Bernie has a long track record of his protectionist positions and isn't "evolving".
Trump has stated that he has never supported socialized medicine.
He did? He supported Canadian style single payer health care in his book. During the debate he also said it works great in Canada and incredibly well in Scotland (which it most certainly does not). I think what Trump said is he doesn't support single payer socialized health care NOW. Like so many of his other liberal positions, he's "evolving" - you know, kinda like Obama on gay marriage and so many other issues.
Trump is a fraud. A political con man. But to be fair, at least you are open about supporting him for his leftist protectionist policies.
By now, most of the unemployed Americans who aren't on disability aren't getting either support or even being counted because they aren't getting benefits, either.
