Trade stupidity…

Well….as you probably already know, the idiot trump has proposed, in a fit of absolute ignorant stupidity, to put tariffs on all of the steel and aluminum that is imported into this country. As you can already guess, countries across the world have said they will match the tariffs on any exported American finished goods, raw materials, and food…setting the lie to the idiot trump’s assertion that “trade wars are easy to win”. In the fact based community who have studied the effects of tariffs on trade for decades, the fact is that these tariffs that trump says will “save” American jobs are projected to cost the US 146,000 jobs in the first two years and will crush the farm belt that stupidly voted for trump by curtailing exports of food that these farmers depend on to stay in business. In trying to hurt China with tariffs on the steel they export to the US, idiot boy forgot to think of the fact that 60% of the soybeans produced in this country are exported to China…and China is already looking for other sources than the US since, with the idiot in the WH, they can’t depend on us as a trading partner anymore…just as Mexico did when they stopped buying American corn and made trade deals with Argentina and other South American countries when trump started to try to dismantle NAFTA and attacked Mexico relentlessly for a reason that only exists in trump’s fevered brain. What do you think about your hero now, farmers? Voting for a game show host gets you game show governance and you wanted this by a large margin…maybe you won’t be so stupid next time…nope, stupidity runs deep in trump country….geez….
