Default Re: Good King Trump

I just don't get what Trump is trying to accomplish with these tariffs, especially the steel tariffs.

I mean they could work against say Canada, IF we had more than enough domestic production to make up for the reduced imports OR we could import cheaply from somewhere else. Given though the the US Steel Industry is a shell of what it once was and Trump is applying tariffs to pretty much all steel imports, what the fucking good is this going to do other than drive up prices of consumer goods in the US?

Is that his point, fuck over the working class even more because he's not squeezing enough value (for the wealthy) out of the horrendous tax bill? It will slow down real economic growth, but probably cause another surge in the stock market, because America fuck yeah! Which again only puts money in the pockets of the already wealthy.
