The cost of tariffs have not hit yet. Once price increases and job losses hit, they will not be remain popular with the base because they will be the ones most affected. Trade and tariff wars do not end well for all involved.

BS, our tariffs increase US employment. They decease Chinese employment. That is how it works.

What Free Traitors™ want you to believe is that the supply function is static and no new domestic suppliers will EVER come on line. Despite their best efforts brand new factories are still being built in the USA all the time. Not as many as are closed mind you but the situation is dynamic and not static. With more domestic supply will mean pressure to reduce prices.

You Free Traitors™ never give up your lies.

If someone loses a job (because of tariffs) and then gets a job with another employer, was a job lost?

If someone quits a job and takes a job with a different company, was a job gained?

Trump is “reorganizing” trade at the best possible time, when jobs are plentiful. (Almost) Anyone who wants a job can find one.

From CNBC today: “Private payrolls miss expectations as companies can’t find enough people to hire”

World Socialism is loved by Republican elite, hated by Americans.

Foreign Tariffs is World Socialism.
Foreign Tariffs fund the corrupt Republican elite.

Domestic Tariffs are jobs & prosperity.
Domestic Tariffs fund Americans.

NEVER talk about “tariffs”, that is the enemy’s deception.
Talk about “Domestic over Foreign” Tariffs fund Americans.

Trump may not let it get that far. It’s principle use is towards the fall elections.

Funny how the philo-tariffers take no notice of the jobs lost if exports drop when the furreners raise their tariffs and buy less of our goods. They only look at its effect on job creation as though there are not job loses.
