The Lefty US President: 'Trade Wars are Good'

[mentalfloss]

Trump defends tariffs, says 'trade wars are good.'

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump argued Friday that trade wars can be good, even though his promise of steel and aluminum tariffs rattled markets.

"When a country (USA) is losing many billions of dollars on trade with virtually every country it does business with, trade wars are good, and easy to win," Trump wrote on Twitter.

When a country (USA) is losing many billions of dollars on trade with virtually every country it does business with, trade wars are good, and easy to win. Example, when we are down $100 billion with a certain country and they get cute, don't trade anymore-we win big. It's easy!

A left-wing nazi eh? Man, this dude really has your head all f*ucked up. A classic case of Trump derangement syndrome if I ever saw one.

Are trade wars a lefty position?

Canadian steel tarrifs of 45.3% came in last spring.

We won't be impacted by the US tarrifs.

The tarrifs are AD (anti dumping) of low grade subsidize steel from China, Korea, Spain, Hong Kong and Russia.

Trudy is far more aggressively taxing imports than the Cheese Doodle.

Nationalism is left wing, yes.

It's almost like having a reality TV show star as president.

Much better than having a community organizer or a treasonous, pant-suit wearing felon as POTUS.

Stronger feminism and a weaker NRA with a leftist economic platform.

The US is turning into Canada so in a way, you're not wrong.
