When I first heard that President Trump was going to slap tariffs on imported goods, I was fearful that the recovering economy would stop in its tracks. I thought tax reform would help level the playing field by giving American manufacturers an edge, and encourage new companies to start up. So, in the beginning, I thought tariffs were a bad idea. Let the new tax structure filter through the system first.
When I read that the Chinese government requires American companies to hand over technology (or have it stolen) before they can sell there, I thought, “Hmm…that needs to be fixed. That’s not fair.” And, even though I don’t know the details of our trade policies with China, Canada, Mexico, and the rest, more information is coming forward, such as Canada not allowing milk imports from the US, which reassures me that our president knows what he is doing…
…And that we should trust him to negotiate fair trade deals between the US and the rest of the world.
Thank you, President Trump.

Tariffs should be used as leverage in discussions with nations with which we have a significant trade deficit, or with whom we are in an improper position due to prior negotiations that did not follow the best interests of the USA. They seem to be attracting the attention of those trade partners with whom we were in a severe deficit position. Time will tell if they work properly, to make better deals that are fair to both countries.

America is the most innovative and generous nation on earth. Unfortunately past administrations have caved to the liberal idea that America should apologize for its successes by submitting itself to international trade deals that would make us just another cog in the economics of a New World Government. President Trump is doing what we elected him to do – and what every elected official should do. He is working for us – not our trading partners. Our national generosity has put us in debt. It’s way past time to reverse the damage caused by past administrations. It’s time to remind the world that America has lifted every nation by the genius of its freedoms. And all other nations will succeed or fail upon the merits of their own political ideologies. President Trump believes in America, and he has not forgotten who he serves.

Do not know enough about the nature of the existing trade imbalance. If the I’m alannce was/is caused by foreign tariffs/excise tax or whatever the foreign government calls it then we should impose an appropriate tariff to counter it. If it is general economic circumstances such as the foreign country having an abundance of a resource and can produce the product with less cost, than no to tariff. If the foreign government is controlling or owning the manufacturing process and therefore in effect subsidizing the product, then some resoponse to correct the imbalance is needed, whether a tariff or something.

While tariffs may appear to be initially bad, it is my thought that they are necessary to maintain industrial capacity and retention of American proprietary information. I look to WWII as an example of the need for industrial power and reliance on sustainable resources. I think that President Trump is looking to prepare America for the future. The world is drastically changing around us and, like it or not, the United States is becoming more isolated. The more self sufficient we are, the better we are positioned to survive the future. I expect this will be an case of “short term pain for long term gain”.

He’s proven himself an astute businessman who knows what it takes to get people to the bargaining table. And he’s also not simply throwing US money away, getting nothing in return in his dealing. President has always been about “fair” – not one-sided tariff imposition. Some farmers may be worried that these tariffs will crush their farm incomes, but they were the ones PAYING for those higher tariffs in the first place. Other countries don’t want to lose the US market for their goods and vice versa. The world needs our agricultural and other products. It certainly doesn’t hurt us to hold a hard line on occasion, and I think it’s good for the world to see a leader who actually will work for the good of his country, not personal pocket.

Tariffs are a knee-jerk government tax that raises consumer prices, increases inflation, devalues the dollar on world markets, encourages black markets, and has little immediate impact on domestic consumption. When imposed on resources, such as steel and aluminum, it favors foreign manufacturing (such as cars and appliances) where there are no such tariffs. Sorry, but I’m a staunch free-market capitalist, shaped by Wayne Grudem’s book ‘The Poverty of Nations.’

What the media is creating a smoke screen to hide, what politicians bent on a one-world-government hate that Trump figured out, what the nations are panicked and railing against is this:
ALL the countries who have trade imbalances with the United States (read: that take our money for their goods, but neglect/renege on their promise to purchase our goods in return) have socialist (or communist) economies and have been using the US capital to fund their flagging economies. For decades. In short, they have been stealing from the USA people to pay for their socialist programs. They HAVE to have an influx of cash from a capitalist nation in order to keep socialism afloat. Because – they’ve already run out of their own money.
Now with Trump imposing tariffs to normalize the trade and capital to what was intended by the original/in place trade agreements, they’re absolutely panicked. They won’t be flush with our cash. They won’t be able to sustain their national socialist largesse. They will (to paraphrase Margaret Thatcher) have run out of OTHER people’s money, as they already have with their own.
So, when the countries “retaliate” and impose “counter-tariffs” on the US, DON’T believe those nations or our own politicians who are crying “Trade Wars”. It isn’t. It won’t be. Because the socialist nations are already broke and couldn’t sustain a ‘trade war’ of any duration – certainly not one that would impact the United States.
Trump is a shrewd businessman. The timing of the tariffs is perfect. The tariffs will bolster American businesses (creating a sustainable base for a booming economy, instead of a bubble), bring back cash owed to the United States, and put the world on notice once and for all: we are global PARTICIPANTS, but are and will always remain a sovereign nation.

The real problem is that we have exported jobs to cheap labor markets for at least 40 years. Our manufacturing base has been decimated. When WWII started we had massive amounts of manufacturing capability which was quickly converted from making washing machines, automobiles and other items to building tanks, aircraft and equipment to support the war effort. Now, if we were to enter into a war with China, we would be destroyed. Many of the basic hand tools I use to do my job at Northrop Grumman are manufactured in ……… wait for it …….CHINA!!!. One has to look carefully at labels to find products made anywhere else.

Tariffs are taxes that we pay to the US government for the privilege of buying whatever goods it deems we should be paying more for. It’s bad policy and it is not conservative, free market policy. If other countries are imposing tariffs on US goods, there are there ways of putting pressure on them to end that practice, but to just do the same thing? This just leads to new tariffs, as it already has–Germany is set to impose tariffs on more US goods in July. That said, I support what he’s doing and I hope it brings an end to all tariffs, but I fear that this tit-for-tat game could spiral out of control, as history has shown it usually does.

There have been too many one sided trade deals made with other nations including our neighbors to the north and south. Free trade sounds good, but it also has to be fair trade. If it takes tariffs in order to level the playing field, then that is what must be done until the trade deals with other countries are either renegotiated or dissolved. Simply put, we can’t continue on the path of propping up other nations at the expense of our own citizens.

Imposing these tariffs is a good move. What needs to be exposed is the high tariffs our trading partners levy on American made products, i.e. state the exact tariff on a product by product basis. For example, it is my understanding that India levys a 100% tariff on American made motorcycles. That is outrageous and just proves why DJT is taking this action. There should be a level playing field……not the grossly un-level one that currently exists.

Please talk about abortion they support and acting like they care for the illegals, how much more money are they going to rip American’s that pay their taxes off. The tariffs should bring America companies back to the USA.
Accept nothing less than FAIR trade
Tariffs are bad for the economy. For every steel producer that’s helped, there are millions of consumers that are hurt.
Our trade partners need to provide fair opportunities for American products in their countries. Adding exorbitant import fees for American products makes it difficult for our products to compete. Tariffs are OK but must be reasonable.
The U.S. has the youngest demographics of any consumer economy. Young people buy things old people already bought them. The rest of the world is full of old people. We will win any trade war. Trump knows this and is planning ahead as he should be. Thank GOD for a smart businessman president.
