How come the republican supporters are not upset about the new tariff war?

That is something that will cost us ALL if tariffs actually go through.

Even if it does bring jobs back to America, do you really relish the thought of paying even more for things that are overpriced?

Some think, "At first it may cost more but prices will eventually come down". Didn't trump himself say something about once prices go up, it is really hard to bring them down?

I am just trying to understand why some members of the Right would cheer on someone who is doing things that will hit their wallets even harder.

Yea, this Tarriffs thing is just economically nuts. It does make some semse on dumping and reciprocal (done gradually ). But arbitrarily just destroys differential advantage.

@NewWorldToronto Why is it okay for everyone to tax America but have an issue when America decides to impose the same percentage tax on OUR goods as the goods coming in?

These tariffs are retaliatory. We are proposing the same percent of taxes that are taxed on our goods. Perhaps considering reducing or getting rid of your taxes on our goods. You complaining is hypocritical. Everyone thinks it's America's responsibility to compensate for everyone's lack.

@DeluxedEdition I think retaliatory are a great idea...but so far that is not what he has been doing. He also needs to honour the free trade agreement he signed.
