I know the people in Washington DC, and the people on Twitter will be really upset by it, but I’m not sure the American people will ever understand why foreigners can charge higher tariffs on us than we charge on them. If you tell an American that Trump is simply matching the tariffs they impose upon us, most Americans are gonna be happy about it.
And what significant is absolutely no one in this whole frenzied debate has made a case about why foreign country should have higher tariffs on us than we have on them. I have not seen one person make that argument. I’d like to know what the argument is, if there is one other than America should just suck it up and take it.
