That' exactly what happened. — In 1964 the US imposed a 25% import on light trucks and Europe retaliated with their own 25% import tariff.

Donald Trump is bitterly complaining about the EU's 25% import tariff on light trucks — without considering removing our own 55 year old 25% import tariff on light trucks, because he wants an unfair playing field.

All Trump needs to do is sign one simple Executive Order and 25% tariffs on light trucks go away all around the world, yet he refuses to do so. Maybe his hand is crippled?

Donald Trump's refusal to act just gives him something to complain so he can try to 'impress' millions of dopes here in the US, or he's seriously stupid himself.

Every country around the world with their own 25% import tariff on US light trucks simply laugh at Donald Trump and assume he's an imbecile. — Donald Trump is the world's worst negotiator. Only the stupid and the gullible think otherwise.

In the real world Donald Trump gave me a tax cut, but has otherwise accomplished nothing. Trump's stupid and mostly poor supporters who have not benefited at allthink they'll upset me if they vote to re-elect him. How stupid are they?
