That is basically what it comes down to,

The tariffs on steel from overseas will save some steel workers jobs, but it is going to cost millions of manufacturing jobs

The laughable tarrif on Canadian wood is going to save some jobs but it is going to hurt the real estate and construction markets.

In both cases, our tarrifs are based on illegal subsides that well, frankly don't exist.

And while we are going postal over fictional subsides overseas, Washington is using our tax dollars as toilet paper with new spending on our very own illegal subsides,

Washington Makes Me Want To Puke,

Isn't it hilarious that PMSNBC would not elaborate on this because it's a Big Gubmint program, even though they admit they know it's harmful?

As long as the intention is good, it cannot be challenged.
