    NONE of the conservative or libertarian free marketers I talked to like Trump’s tariff idea. And I reached out to @StephenMoore, @DavidMMcintosh of @club4growth, @scottlincicome of @CatoInstitute, @MichaelRStrain of @AEI, & Don Boudreaux of @mercatushttps://www.thedailybeast.com/free-market-conservatives-turn-on-steely-don …

        I am really glad they don't like it. It's just a shame there isn't someone who could.. I don't know.. write a bill or something to stop it. I realize legislation doesn't read as well as a press release but it is occasionally more effective.

        What about just regular people like me who make less than 100k a year? I think it sucks too and it will affect me a lot more.

        Trump is neither a conservative nor a liberal. It's not clear what his ideology is other than some vague commitment to "winning", which in his case means his personal aggradizement.

        Trump might now have an intellectual underpinning of how government should operate but if you listen to his off script remarks he clearly believes the government should take care of people and make decisions for them. This makes him a progressive

        That's like calling the Nazis "progressive" because they had a welfare state ;) Trump is a *reactionary.* And reactionary populism often incorporates welfare state programs to take care of "their people." In France, they call it welfare chauvinism.

        Put down the Dinesh D'Souza. Neither he nor Coulter are historians ;) After the Night of the Long Knives, Hitler purged the "Red Nazi" Strasser bros and the Nazis cozied up to the industrial cartels. The political economy of Nazi Germany was state corporatism.

        D'Souza and Coulter are morons. Coulter is probably progressive herself. And "state corporatism" is a form of socialism. Government control of production. Heavy taxation. Broad government services.

        You don't have to be conservative or an economist to dislike Trump's idiotic tariffs. They will cause higher prices and job losses, but in their favor, for a few months they will play to his ill-informed base.

        Like tariffs on Solar Panels it will also cause manufacturers to co-locate production to North America. With a 15% increase in costs - 50% of Global Supply Chains become unprofitable.

        I think when he finds out that guns are made out of steel and aluminum, and the NRA doesn't agree with higher costs of making guns, he will likely back off of the tariffs

        Lol. Steely Don. Everyone but trump know tariffs have no place in a global market. The gop sat in their hands and this is their reward. This will kill foreign investments. Lol
