The White House released a detailed chart showing how badly many countries have been ripping off American workers, charging high tariffs on U.S. goods while benefiting from America's generosity in return.
“There’s millions and billions and hundreds of billions and trillions of dollars to be made from getting a kid sick, from getting them addicted, from keeping them in fear,” he continues. “This is something that the Trump administration, just in modern society today, we have to balance, because we do want to unleash responsible innovation, but we have lost touch of common sense.”
“And I think that’s kind of the message that Bobby Kennedy and Trump have really resonated on. It’s really a getting back to basics message,” he adds.
And yet, the world seemed to erupt in anger. It was very strange. Even people on the libertarian right and, of course, the left were very angry. The Wall Street Journal pilloried Donald Trump.
But here’s my question.
China has prohibitive tariffs, so does Vietnam, so does Mexico, so does Europe.
So do a lot of countries.
So does India.
But if tariffs are so destructive of their economies, why is China booming?
How did India become an economic powerhouse when it has these exorbitant tariffs on American imports?
How did Vietnam, of all places, become such a different country even though it has these prohibitive tariffs?
Why isn’t Germany, before its energy problems, why wasn’t it a wreck?
It’s got tariffs on almost everything that we send them.
How is the EU even functioning with these tariffs?...
General Motors announced on Thursday to its workforce that the company will be increasing production of its light-duty trucks at a plant in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to avoid the reciprocal tariffs implemented by President Donald Trump.
Reuters reported that the Fort Wayne plant makes the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks. GM also manufactures those trucks at plants in Mexico and Canada, with around half of GM's large pickup truck production done in Mexico and Canada. The company will likely add more overtime hours, along with hiring more temporary workers to increase production output at the Indiana plant.
These protests today are not organic.
Imagine there is an industry product that is killing thousands a year and the number is growing.
