TweetWriting in the Wall Street Journal, Inu Manak rightly criticizes Biden’s Trumpian protectionism. Three slices: The Biden administration was quick to attack Donald Trump’s recent proposal to place “a ring around the collar” of the U.S. economy by slapping a “universal baseline tariff” of 10%...cafehayek.com
My opinion? Trump's tariffs were a miserable failure. He said he imposed them in order to reduce the trade deficit. The trade deficit went up. He said they would not harm Americans. Hundreds of farmers were driven to bankruptcy and tossed off their land. He said his tariffs would not increase prices on goods in America. They did. He said supply chains would not be disrupted. They were. He said his tariffs would not cause shortages of goods. They did. His one-man jihad against international trade was a giant mistake. But Trump being Trump he can never admit he screwed anything up. And to add insult to injury Joe Biden kept them in place.
The shocking thing about the Biden Administration in toto is it appears they ask themselves what's the worst thng they can do that will bring down the country they have been elected to protect, and then that's what they do. Trump to his credit did what he thought would help the country, but in things like international trade he could barely have been more destructive.
Sleepy's funding of Ukraine in the hundreds of billions of dollars yet folks in Lahaina get 95 mil? A state of our union completely devastated and insulted in one instance. Sleepy joe stinks of a worthless pile of dogshit.

Trump’s tariffs are a failure. The majority of the $80 billion you think he “made” for the government came directly out of the pockets of American consumers as the tariff charges got passed on to us. The tariffs are nothing more than a clever way to sneak a hidden tax on us while telling the easily duped he’s really sticking it to those evil foreign companies for having the audacity to sell their products to us at a cheaper price.
Has it occurred to you that the American economy, with *lower* tariffs than your other 160 countries, is more robust than theirs? Do you suppose there are a couple of dots you should connect?
Lol so it worked he made the government money? You are as silly as Clinton.
Well, if you’re okay with him making money for the government by taking it from you then there’s not much left to say.
Biden’s tariffs are just a continuation of Trump’s tariffs and I have criticized Biden as well.
Everything is not fine. Trump’s tariffs were a subtle way of taxing you without you knowing it. And to make things worse he tells you he’s punishing a bunch of foreigners and you believe him.
What you are failing to understand is tariffs are punishment to the citizens of the country imposing them, not the foreigners. *You* are the fair game! Why do you suppose that American consumers enjoy a much wider assortment of products from which to choose, and at a lower price, than consumers from countries with higher tariffs?
Yes, of course by our government artificially decreasing demand of a foreign product it hurts the company that sells the product. It hurts both the seller and the buyer. Explain to me how that is beneficial to anyone but the government collecting the taxes. How has your life been made better?
WTF? I thought all the farmers went bankrupt back in the 80s? The “farm crisis” hoax has been as big as the globalclimatewarmingchange hoax over the last 40 years.

Yes, the governmet "makes" money in other ways, but the point is if it's going to tax us at least have the balls to tell us the truth that tariffs are taxes on us, not "punisment" of foreign companies for selling their goods to Americans that want to buy them.
You are thinking that Trump's tariffs are what keeps you employed? Can you show a ten step process on how that works?
No, not hopeless. Curious. I am curious how sanctions protect your job. Trump's sanctions cost the American public $80 billion out of our pockets, which play a role how much of certain products we can afford, and wound up costing 166,000 people their jobs. But they preserved yours. I'm curious how it worked out that way. Why did you get to keep your job because of the sanctions, while 166,000 other people lost theirs because of the sanctions. If this feels to you like I'm putting you on the spot that's because I am. You are very much in favor of Trump's sanctions despite the fact they backfired at almost every level. I'm perplexed why. Obviouslyyou don't have to provide explicit reasons, but it would be nice if you did.
