Trump’s former trade chief on how tariffs affect the economy, why he says the U.S. needs them

Lost manufacturing jobs in the U.S. are not due to the conduct of other countries. It is because the American companies decided to look for cheap labore in other countries. So, it was the greed of the American companies that created the problem. Thus, blaming other countries for the greed of the American companies is simply absurd and counterproductive.

People who are recession-proof saying, "Well, if this fails, we can always go back," make me sick. The average, middle class person who loses their home to foreclosure can't just go back.

Could we at least stop pretending that this has anything to do with fentanyl?

"You don't know how much you love going to work until you can't go there anymore." So true!

The continuously changing economic conditions in our society have made it necessary for people to find additional sources of income, thus I am looking at the stock market to fuel my retirement goal of $3m, my only concern is the recent market crash.

This guy really gives it away when he says the very well paid CEOs are gonna just have to figure it out. Yeah. They’re going to figure it out the way they always do. They are not going to cut their own pay and they are going to raise prices.

Last phrase he said: If it doesn’t work… ooops 😂😂😂 These are the advisers? What a joke!😂😂😂

It's Smoot-Hawley meets Dunning-Krueger😂

“If in TEN years it doesn’t work, I guess we’ll go back to what we’ve done in the past” — that’s a wild statement 😅

“Tariffs are the greatest thing ever invented,” said the man who declared bankruptcy six times.
