    You want to cut my hair for cheap? No, I am going to stab myself in the eye with the scissors. Haha, you lose.

    Seriously though, tariffs can help (as part of a bigger strategy) to develop and protect important industries. You probably want a surgical approach in applying them, though.

    If any of this actually happened (unlikely), I’d expect the US to start a very long slide to irrelevance.

      Agreed. Trade agreements probably always need updating and tuning, etc…including things like tariffs.

      Having donvict do it, though? That idiot is not one I’d want to be doing surgery of any kind - on trade agreements or otherwise. He’s a blustery moron.
