These people just love, love love Adam Smith when it comes to “Free Trade”.

Hey, how about the ol’ Invisible Hand? How about enlightened self interest? How about less government? How about real free enterprise?

No?

Not interested in that stuff? Just the Free Trade stuff? Is that because “free trade” is a globalist tool to weaken the US? Other countries use tariffs and trade restrictions. That’s no problem at all. No “trade war” there, right?

This push against tariffs is pathetic. President Trump is right.

I'd be more comfortable with across-the-board tariffs, to be honest.

Imposing a tariff on two raw materials really just serves to pit different U.S. industries against each other.

“These people just love, love love Adam Smith when it comes to Free Trade”

My thoughts exactly. When you see these socialist libtards quoting Adam Smith you can be sure that they are hiding their true motives.

How much funding is his think tank getting from the Chinese?

I am so sick of the Establishment globalist gaslighting. I can't take it anymore.

That works for me.

Let's get the EPA/OSHA?EEOC/NLRB off the necks of American industry so it can compete without tariffs. Watch the economy take off like a rocket.

Of course, the AFL-CIO moles that are posting here in favor of big tariffs will not want to go along.

Yes!

It reveals the Trotskyist Neocon RINOs (the spawn of Irving Kristol).
