One Fell Swoop

Let us start with the proposition that since the end of the Second World War, America's allies, trading partners, and competitors have all taken advantage of the United States through unbalanced trade and through having the US bear the cost burden of collective defense (meaning America's taxpayers footing the bill to protect countries that should have had to pay the full load for defending themselves), and even building up former enemies like Japan and Germany and current foes like Red China because our trade negotiators were idiots until Trump was initially elected and international bodies that regulate trade were and are intensely anti-American. The best and perhaps only tool the President had to redress this was his use of or threat of tariffs to affect change. Six blacked-robed dolts on the nation's highest court just stripped Trump of that, to the detriment of our nation and the liberty around the world that a robust America upholds.
