President Trump has now claimed in public a thousand times that current trade deals are unfair to America. How many counter-arguments have you seen in the news? None? #TradeWar

That US needs to accept tariffs by others to be able to impose tariffs themselves. The alternative would be no tariffs at all (which Trump does not want because his voters would suffer) or a system of bilateral trade deals (which would require the US to leave the WTO).

Look at the average tariff imposed by country. Canada is at the bottom of the list. The information is there. Many like Trump don’t understand or don’t want to understand. You will soon in higher prices on very basic items

Year-by-year deficit is not proof of a bad trade deal. A poor country only sells (eg bananas) to USA (deficit) for first X years. But as banana industry grows, country will buy more USA goods. Dumb people don't get it. Strong Mexico = good USA futurehttps://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-03-28/the-case-for-free-trade-is-as-strong-as-ever …

Counter Argument https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-03-28/the-case-for-free-trade-is-as-strong-as-ever … Net outcome of free trade is better. Kind of like legalizing pot, it's better when you have more choices of seller. WSJ, CNBC, Economist, Bloomberg, etc etc. Claim by Smart Scott that he knows no counter argument looks suspicious to me.

"EU Media is Semi-fascist in its leftism" Like TheEconomist? I'm more a WSJ reader myself, but I don't label everyone I disagree with in a most extreme way. Some people find ad hominem arguments very "persuasive", I guess.
