Today's Liberal Hates Tariffs, But Thought They Were Okee Dokee When Obama Implemented Them 🙄


Here's what NBC News had to say about it:
Barack Obama imposed tariffs on Chinese tires in 2009 to protect American manufacturers from a surge in imports that was harming the domestic industry. These tariffs were part of a broader strategy to enforce trade laws and support American workers.

And on Canada:
Barack Obama imposed tariffs on certain imports, including those from Canada, primarily to protect American industries from unfair competition. However, these tariffs were generally lower compared to those proposed by later administrations, and they were part of broader trade policies aimed at balancing trade relationships.

These hypocrites don't hate tariffs...they are terrified of Trump

Everything they do is acceptable especially if it's insane and makes no sense. They are going to complain about everything now because they are out and well . . . Trump. TDS is a real mental health issue.
@Gibbon the rationale for implementing tariffs in 2009 is the same as today. Back then good - today bad.

@BizSuitStacy In my opinion their also being implemented by Trump for the opposite of the original concept. Not for our income but to inflict economical damage to the source country. People need to read the full history and use of tarrifs in the US going back to late 1700s and how taxes play into it. It unmasks the Dems love of raising taxes.
