That was smaller and much more targeted. This is larger, general, and therefore worse. I can’t speak for anyone but me, but I thought the 2016 protectionism was a bad idea, and pleased when it was quickly reversed.

Nicholas, I was wondering why you thought the Tariffs a bad idea? Be glad to listen to your reasons why.

Raise costs on consumer goods and manufacturing inputs. About 140,000 Americans work in steel or aluminum production. Over 6 million work industry that uses steel/aluminum. And everyone buys stuff with those metals in them.

Nick, if US steel and alum Corps sell at same price as foreign Corps are selling for now, (which they said would do) why would prices rise?
-
Because US companies can’t meet all the demand alone.

Nick, Foreign companies still ble to sell in USA just meet US prices, and now US Companies can expand quickly-no reason for prices up.
