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

Aww...look at you trying to justify trumps "reciprocal" tariffs across the board. Never mind that he has tanked our economy, risen our cost of living, raped our retirement funds.
Your concern is democrats criticism of trump's mindless destruction of our country. His determination to place not reciprocal, but punitive tariffs on the world. You won't look beyond your hatred of your perceived foes to understand the damage being done.
Tariffs have always been a bargaining tool. When used as a weapon, you ruin relationships and start wars. And we pay the price. You and me.
But like everything else, he knows tariffs better than anyone, ever. Never mind what his advisors and real economists say. And let me ask you...who do you think profits when economies fail? When a govt becomes authoritarian? And you are either in favor of this collapse or are too thick to understand where we are headed.
Or...you can't admit you are wrong. You post this kind of musing to say, see? What about the democrat? It's the same! It's not the same. Obama fixed the economy. Trump is tanking it.

@Carla Wow! 😯 Trump did all that bad stuff just since last week? That's amazing that
a POTUS can affect the stock market like that, isn't it? What will you say when it rebounds?

Will you say it was something the Democrats did?😉
