It's about getting a better deal

Now, there's no paper signed

Did you write opinion pieces to the media saying why Trump's protectionism is better than the free trade, did you call your representative telling them you support the tariffs? I highly doubt it button mash

So we can't exactly praise or condemn Trump for it, we'll have to see how the trade deal pans out.

Because our opponents and "allies" did both of those but to criticize the implementation of tarrifs

@zakattack04 The NYtimes doesn't publish what I submit to them

What did you write it about?

How Republicans in Congress are stupid, Trump is a conman, his supporters are brainless followers, etc.

That's literally not relevant to what I said in any way

well, that was the point in many of them in addition to the policy he was backing out of

Trump tries to input protectionist policies, and people on both sides chastised him, we did nothing to support what he did. Why would he implement something that even his own voters are against? Because that's what it appears to him.

Tucker Carlson backed him

Coulter backed him

He's going to back of out of things he has no support it, and we're making the illusion that we don't.

All his primary supporters backed him

Those are media icons, not his supporters.

What?

In tariffs?

Yes

Because the poll I saw was 37-23 against tariffs of republicans polled

Conservatives*

Let's assume for a moment that poll is true,

I'll post it when I get home

what does it matter? Should Trump just be slave to public opinion?

It's his supporters, his own supporters didn't support him, the right wingers

Should Trump just abandon all his promises because one poll shows its not popular?

@zakattack04 Prove it. That's a lie, no poll shows his supporters don't support tariffs

We sat and did nothing to raise support of what he did on trade, so don't complain when he concedes

It wasn't just about tariffs for the sake of tariffs, they have the purpose of advancing the idea they have to be better in trade with other country.

Ok wait till I get home

That's a gold point

zak is flat out lying about this

Good*

It's not black and white

There is no poll that shows what you described

It said 37_23 conservatives against his tariffs

Show me what it is among Trump Voters

But FLanon has a point

As long as we get a better trade deal for America, that is what matters

It's a negotiation tool, leverage. He didn't just put on tariffs because he intends on making it that way forever.

That is what trump wanted to do
