I kept wondering why in such a great economy--why any moron would impose tariffs right now, that have never created a single job in this country, but history has shown time & again they're great for job loss's. Republicans have always been opposed to tariff's and have always been free trade.
The Great Depression Lesson About ‘Trade Wars’
It's well noted that the Treasury department, the Justice Department and all other departments involved were never informed by Trump that he was going to impose steel tariffs. It was a whim--when he announced tariffs during a morning briefing as reporters were leaving. The result--his economic adviser quit a few days later over his announcement. Apparently, Trump didn't even discuss this with Cohn prior to making the announcement. The stock market sold off on the announcement that Cohn quit.

Now it makes sense.
IT'S THE SPECIAL ELECTION that will be held in Pennsylvania, next Tuesday--a big steel district. This is just a political stunt to help Republican Rick Saccone win the18th district. A district that Trump won by 20 points in 2016.

The Republican majority congress is totally against these tariffs, and are going to fight tooth and nail against them. The European Union--(many countries in Europe) have already stated they will impose tariffs on American products should Trump sign off on a steel tariff.

Rick Saccone's opponent Democrat Conor Lamb is ahead in the polls and has grossly out-funded Saccone with local money. So Trump jumped in with the steel tariff announcement, in an effort to save Rick Saccone's ass.

I don't think you're going to get any steel tariffs. I think this was specifically designed for this race, and those of you who were wishing for a steel tariffs will get shat upon after this election is over--regardless of who wins.
I guess we'll see if the 18th district in Pennsylvania has grown a brain since November 2016--
