    As for Trump ... actually I kinda trust his biz instincts.
    The playing field HAS to be at least partially leveled for
    American industry. Tariffs and some of his other ideas are
    the quick-n-dirty, expedient, way to kinda achieve that.


    Conservatives don't care about a
    "level playing field", they care about
    quick profits. Mitt Romney made his
    fortune by breaking up American companies
    and shipping their jobs overseas.

    No jobs were "shipped overseas." That's an idiotic metaphor.


    TRump preaches about "Hire Americans First"
    but won't hire them himself. If Trump
    slaps a tariff on imported cell phones
    what American industry is he protecting?
    There are no US cell phone factories.
    If he slaps a tariff on Mexican tequila
    what industry is he protecting? There
    are no American tequila brands. He is
    just lashing out blindly, refusing to
    take advice from anyone.
