BC,
If these countries want access to the biggest market in the world then they should play on a level playing field with the US. Why should we support them?
Taiwan is a perfect example of this argument falling flat on its face.

We're now going to pay 32% extra on everything manufactured or assembled by the Taiwanese (excluding semiconductors), all for what? Just to open up the Taiwanese market to U.S. beef exports, for example?

That's a perfect example of the Orange Dumbass cutting off his nose to spite his ugly face. We are MUCH more dependent on Taiwanese imports than we are on revenue from exports to Taiwan.

It's one thing to argue for onshoring manufacturing, but to call this "leveling the playing field" is absolute bullshit.

This is nothing but protectionism, but the Orange Coward doesn't want to call it as such, which is why he's calling it "reciprocal" tariffs, even though he doesn't even understand what tariffs are being imposed on U.S. exports.
