-— He wants to raise high tariffs on imports... That’s going to do 2 things:

1. Cause everything to rise in price almost immediately.

2. We don’t live in a vacuum. Other countries will respond by raising tariffs on our exports. They will have to.

It happened before, ironically with another businessman turned politician back with Hoover.

Want to see job LOSS, wait until Trump kills the economy with this moronic plan. -—

Worth repeating because the Smoot-Hawley tariffs cut imports AND exports by 65%.

Actually, the rise in tariffs won’t happen because the companies will believe he will do or and or to locate in the USA rather than get hit with import taxes.

Example: We had corporal punishment in elementary school but it was never used except one or twice. The example and then looming that was enough to change kids behavior because we believed that threat was real.

He doesn’t have to do it. If they believe he will. And if he does tax them, someone smarter will make the same product in the USA, sell it for less and make a fortune.

You’re thinking 2D. Start thinking 3D. Start thinking dynamically.
