An American Tariffist

Donald Trump is something of a protectionist, and I feared his tariffs would harm the economy and our nation. I had visions of Smoot-Hawley exacerbating the Great Depression and thought Trump's tariffs would be causing the same type of dislocation. To this point, I admit I am wrong, and that the President is a master strategist using the tariffs and threat thereof as a means to strengthen America's negotiating positions. There are and will be new duties on foreign goods imposed by master tactician Trump, but under the careful management of the President and his economic team, the possible harms of the tariff policy are being mitigated and our nation is prevailing in economic talks with countries that have taken advantage of Uncle Sucker since the 1970's. Under Trump, we win!
