What? Tariffs are bad for international business, not common people. American big business depends on an unrestrained exploitative trade relationship with Mexico. “Free trade” policies like NAFTA destroyed mexico’s economy and are a major reason so many poor people are being displaced to the US in the first place. Tariffs are not the problem.
Just because Trump utters the word tariff doesn’t mean that we all have to become neoliberal shills for Walmart. I mean, I know we don’t like the guy and want to oppose him. But if we followed this logic, all Trump would have to do is suggest reducing US military involvement abroad, and democrats would respond by becoming hawks. Oh, wait…
