So much MAGA domination, our collective heads must be spinning. When he said 'jobs jobs jobs', he never specified where, apparently:

Many Trump products are made over seas.
You want to start a another trade war? We have rules you know, why would china just accept tariffs?
But you know how smart the avg trump apologist is. lets look at the list of countries they want to start fighting with
Mexico
China
Canada
All 28 EU countries which I don't really want to write down
You know who is left after all of this? When you start picking fights with close allies the only one that is left are enemies.

Imposing tariffs do nothing unless the tarrifs are ment to prevent dumping of goods (like Chinese solar pannels) that are sold below the cost price.
This just means a trade war because this effects regular business.
Are you suggesting that Democrats don't buy products made from China and Mexico?

Practically all cost increases are passed on to the consumer. Things like an increase in wage, material cost, transportation cost etc.
So that makes it ok to make things more expesive? Not seeing the logic of your reply here.
If you are trying to point out the min wage myth, 2 thing.
1, wages make of a very small % of the cost of a product in many cases we are talking pennies per item.
2, At no point in history has wage increases increased the cost of product.
Even right now. IF Mcd's were in instantly increase min wage to 15 an hour. They would only need in raise the cost of a burger 17 cents. Or about 4-5%

So baby boomers are not primarily republican? Do you know US demographics?
Creates more poverty as well with the removal of work wages stagnate. It isn't a easy problem to solve. Long term I believe we are better off having less goods and have control of production rather then relying on foreign imports. I can see the drawbacks to that as well though. Like I said it isn't easy and no one knows for sure what to do about it.
