What is causing you to make such a claim? ^


Because his plans are batshit crazy.  His plan is to impose a huge tariff on China, which would just start a trade war with the biggest growing market for American products.  He proposes that he can force Mexico to build a wall on its border... which may be a good plan if they weren't an incredibly poor nation without the means to do so.  His plan is to cripple their economy with taxes if they don't do this project, which would mean more poverty, which would mean more Mexicans crossing the border.

He's just an idiot who thinks we can tax every other country into doing what we want them to.  That's shitty foreign policy.

So do you feel that it is okay for China to manipulate their own currency?  China subsidizes their exports and raise the price of their imports by as much as 30-40%.  They strengthen their international competitive positions, increase their trade surpluses and generate domestic production and employment at the expense of the United States and other countries.  So how is a 25% tariff on China "batshit crazy" when you have fucking China doing this shit?  This isn't something totally new here.  Donald Trump is just merely addressing what Congress has been showing great concern for the past couple of years.  It's just that Trump has stepped up to the plate and decided to fix issues.  

Perhaps you have a better way of fixing this crap ^ other than a tariff. Please, I am all ears. 

Now you have companies cutting back in China and heading over to Mexico to manufacture an array of products.  Not to mention that you have top American companies, like Ford (2.5 billion dollar plants), investing in Mexico as well.  Then they will have to build this giant wall.  Sounds like a lot of new job creation in Mexico if you ask me.
