We need equal trade

Ok

That's what Trump's doing

They have these huge tariffs on us

You can't just give up trade with Khina

I mean

So Trump goes and slaps tariffs on them

We industrialize America more

It'd work

The end goal is everyone lowers their tariffs so we can lower the trade deficit and get more jobs in manufacturing than before

That's the end goal

Yeah that's the goal

I mean we're not the ones in office doing anything

This is why we have these tariffs in the first place, so exporting to the Chinese won't be much more costly than importing from them

Trump is

Not much we can do other than debate

And he's said that he wants this with the EU

It's all right in front of us

That'd be nice

Getting free trade with the EU

But morons like Rand Paul go and complain about "ThiS iSn'T dA FrEe mArkET" even though in the end there'd be much less trade barriers after Trump finishes up

Fucking shortsighted idiot libertarians

Eh

Anyways, Trump knows what he's doing, it's a matter of "can he pull this off quick enough"

Yeah

We'll have to see, but I have my faith, he's pulled off some miracles before.

But the deals have to go through congress and all, no?

They'd probably get stonewalled

Yeah, and if democrats reject a good deal, it reflects terribly on *them* in the elections

If Trump gives them the keys to end the trade war and they fumble it, the blame goes to them instead of Trump

So?

>So?

Why would dem voters know they rejected a good deal

What

Sorry didn't type fast enough

It's not about dem voters

It kind of is

It's about moderate Americans concerned about the "trade war"

That lean dem

Lefties will be lefties, but these are the people that matter
