    One thing people didn't pay attention to is that one of the few issues Trump has been consistent on for decades is strong protectionism.https://twitter.com/blakehounshell/status/811769281339912192 …

        @blakehounshell so, how does he reconcile protectionism as a national policy with his own business practicess of outsourcing?

        My guess is that Trump businesses will have an exemption from it.

        The unknown of protectionism is GOP politics. Will GOP & corporate class go along because protectionism offset by tax cuts & de-regulation.

        Not a lot of evidence for the existence of significant principle-based backbone in GOP "leadership" at the moment.

        @blakehounshell can he do that? I thought we'd been pretty clear on executive branch unilaterally taxing since the magna carta.

        @blakehounshell I disagree. Wouldn't a protectionist be buying US products to make his buildings, ties, etc and pay his workers?

        tarriffs protect american products. Big box stores dont have american products to sell. We gave those jobs away 15-20 years ago.

        penality tarriffs wont make american products equal to foreign products.so the result is we get a 35 pct price increase.
