And do you only buy products from one singular country? Would you pay double for a Playstation 4 made outside of China? Where is 2/3rds of your wardrobe made? Trump is a hypocrite on this too ... where are his Trump clothing line clothes made? Where is his daughter's clothing line made. How big of a shit-fit do you think he would throw tomorrow if was announced that foreign countries were imposing huge tarrifs on his Trump-branded resorts that are outside of the US?

*crickets*

Free trade is simply a natural result of global capitalism. Can't have it both ways. 

Again, Free Trade =/= Anti-nationalism ... 

He's a hypocrite on free trade but he's not a hypocrite when it comes to US interests ... 

Here is the problem with Trump plans.  Adding Tariffs is not the solution.  It’s another one of those feel good statements he makes that sound good on the surface but in reality doesn't pan out.  We already tried that whole Tariff solution and the only thing it does is put us into a tariff war with other nations.  This raises prices for everything and thus send us spiraling into recession/ depression.  This has always been the problem with a lot of what Trump says.  There is no real thought behind it, instead he say stuff and see if people think it’s smart then he continue to repeat it.  He never does his homework or see if such solutions have not be tried before and why they fail. 

 

The real problem with putting Trump in position to make such choses is the fact he does not do his homework.  He does not take the job serious and he does not listen.  He believe in his great business mind which from his record is not that great.

Here is a link that talks about one of Trumps claims.  As always, what Trump says is not what is the problem but since he knows it sounds good more than it actually being going is the gift of a con man.
