It should scare you, too. I was talking to one of my industry reps this morning, talking about Trump’s tariffs the first time around. Said cost of each shipment of their imports from China went from $2,000 to $30,000. Guess who wound up paying.
Why? What does that even mean? Does an American product have to be made with 100% American parts and each American part have to be made with 100% American components and each American component have to be made with 100% American subcomponents …. How about labor? Does it apply to all labor production and assembly, too? Do all the other countries get to do the same thing for their country? Should the concept of imports and exports just dissolve?
What scares me is all the unvetted illegals and fentanyl pouring into the country. We've lost three kids of close friends to fentanyl and had a couple of friends thankfully escape with only minor injuries in car wrecks with drunk illegals. If Trump placing tariffs on Mexico gets them to help reduce both I'm all for it as you should be.
Neither of us should choose a boneheaded option like tariffs and trade wars as the cure for the fentanyl crisis. But I understand. You’re for it because it’s what Trump told you he wants, and you’ll accept and approve of anything he says he wants. You’d probably smile with pride as you watched him grab your wife or daughter by the pussy.
