Colombia gives us coffee, we give them back paper banknotes.
Brazil gives us bananas, we sell them back financial services.
How many jobs have we lost to Brazil or Columbia? Have those countries responsible for our manufacturing losses? Some Tariffs don't matter in the big picture.
It's crazy that some people need NO PROOF to believe a lie, but DEMAND endless proof to accept the TRUTH.
It would probably help the economy and business if Trump stayed consistent on his trade stances. Putting tariffs on hold and then repealing them makes it hard for business and consumers to plan.

I agree it’s likely that the government can be turned around, but who do you think would do a better job of dismantling our corrupt and incompetent government. If you can’t give me a bane, then Trump is the best man for the job. Nobody has been attacked by this government more than Trump. Few people on this planet have built more than Trump.
Please, enlighten me.
