Trumpists need to STUDY the Law of Comparative Advantage and they will learn that tariffs ALWAYS hurt the country that imposes them.
Oh, so you in fact are not running deficits at the grocers? Hhhhmmmmm.You are deeply in debt? And you like this why?How exactly is being perpetually in a trade deficit beneficial to the USA?It will not benefit the economy at all, it will hurt it. It was done because a moron said he would do it and he will even if it fucks the country

The same way it it beneficial to me to be perpetually in a trade deficit with my local grocery store. I could grow all of my own food and have my own cattle and pigs and chickens. But it is cheaper and easier for my to trade my money with the store to get those things. This benefits both me and the store.
The same way it is beneficial to me for my employer to perpetually be in a in a trade deficit with me. I have something that my employers wants, my technical and analytical skills. They are willing to trade me their money in exchange for my time and skills. This benefits both of us.
We have a trade deficit because the citizens of this country want to buy things that other countries make. Some countries produce products for a lower price and similar quality. It makes sense to pay less for these goods.
Nope, not deeply in debt at all because I live within my means. When the wife and I decided we wanted a higher standard of living we both did something about it and quadrupled our family income in less than 7 years.
Our country is not in debt because of the trade deficit, it is in debt because the Fed Govt operates in a perpetually in the red. Our country does not live within its means. The trade deficit is not the Fed Govt giving money to other countries, it is you and I and every other resident of the country doing so.
Wrong!Tariffs are BAD for EVERYONE!!!The EU has a 10% tariff on cars imported from the USA
No, No, No, Frank! Don't you understand? Tariffs only work and are good for EVERYBODY ELSE!
BAD, USA, Bad!
No tariff is good for anyone!!!

Non sequitur. Tariffs might be bad but if everyone else uses them, then we must use them too as an equalizer otherwise we are just kicking ourselves in the ass. What is solved if we don't use them but everyone else still does against us? We then make Tariffs a very GOOD idea------ for them.

We are not perpetually in a trade deficit.
Do some research and trust Trump only after you have verified his statements.
This is a great day for America, our communities and workers. Economists talk of “trade war.” Those fucking body’s bags have been filled by American workers for years because of foreign tariffs on US manufactured goods. Time to fight back. Oh...and BTW...Trump just got re-elected today.Well he's done it. Now what?
Will it benefit our economy? Or is it solely a political move meant to keep the H. or Rep. under the Republican Leadership?
That's funny, the most Tramp favorable poll, Ratmuffin, has him falling 5 points since announcing his tariffs from 50% to 45%.Oh...and BTW...Trump just got re-elected today.
wry obama put a tariff on foreign tires that from what i read hurt jobs here....i dont remember anyone getting on him for that...and as far as steel goes....we should be producing our own steel....Well he's done it. Now what?

Economics or politics? Why not economics and politics? Why not trust an administration that "wants to make America great again" rather than an administration that warned Americans to suffer for the greater good of global warming and "wean America off fossil fuel" while the rest of the world was gobbling up oil?
Well he's done it. Now what?

It’s bad economics and bad politics.
“But even if tariffs save every one of the 140,000 or so steel jobs in America, it puts at risk 5 million manufacturing and related jobs in industries that use steel. These producers now have to compete in hyper-competitive international markets using steel that is 20 percent above the world price and aluminum that is 7 to 10 percent above the price paid by our foreign rivals.
In other words, steel and aluminum may win in the short term, but steel and aluminum users and consumers will lose. In fact, tariff hikes are really tax hikes.
Some of those 5 million jobs will be put in harm's way. And if they sell less to foreigners, the trade deficit goes up, not down.”
Kudlow: Trump's steel tariffs are a 'crisis of logic' — and the equivalent of a tax hike
with trump one never knows,but if he revitalizes our steel production and gets the American steel industry rolling again....i wont complain....wry obama put a tariff on foreign tires that from what i read hurt jobs here....i dont remember anyone getting on him for that...and as far as steel goes....we should be producing our own steel....Well he's done it.

True enough, so why will we be putting a tariff on Steel and Aluminum? Free traders oppose Trump on this issue, I assume they opposed Obama too.
