Tariffs are a tax on the importing country's consumers. Don't try and spin it as a level playing field. This is largest and most regressive tax increase in US history. People will soon figure that out when the tariffs work into the prices at Walmart.

They've been looking out for themselves for decades. Sucking our manufacturing offshore.

Wrong as usual, they don’t just target US goods, but luxury goods from any country like expensive cars, jewelry etc.. Slapping tariffs on poor country goods is egregiously immoral. It hurts ordinary people in America and poor people in the victim country. You’ll only end up with an even bigger migrant issue. But you isolationist egoists don’t care. You just want to watch the world burn.

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.
