Tariffs aren’t some evil invention—they’re a negotiation tool. The real crisis here is that almost every other nation has been gouging us with outrageous tariffs on American products for decades, while we sat back and let it happen. Year after year, Americans have been paying exorbitant prices for foreign imports because we didn’t have the spine to fight back.
I first saw the absurdity of it when I discovered that European car enthusiasts couldn’t afford the wildly popular, reasonably priced 1965 Ford Mustang. Why? Because those smug European nations slapped massive tariffs on our cars while we welcomed their imports with open arms. Our robust capitalist economy fueled sales of European cars here, but Europe didn’t reciprocate. Fair trade? Not even close.
Tariffs should be a two-way street, but America has let itself be walked on for endless decades. Meanwhile, we whine about drug prices and have been crippled by inflation since being sucker-punched by the Chinese virus. Enough is enough. Donald Trump is absolutely right—we need to flip the script on this one-sided trade imbalance, once and for all.
These new tariffs are just the opening move in a negotiation game. Tariffs can change with the stroke of a pen, and we’re not going to keep being the world’s doormat or the socialist nations’ endless ATM machine. After World War II, we rebuilt Europe and Japan with American tax dollars. Now, those same countries act like we owe them endless favors.
And the worst part? The treacherous left-wing traitors in our own country are desperately fear-mongering, hell-bent on sabotaging every effort Trump makes to restore American strength. Democrat politicians are nothing more than communist vandals using fear-mongering, and hysteria to undermine America. Their existence as a party is an insult to our nation. It’s time to wake up and fight back against these domestic enemies.
If we allow Donald Trump to do his job, how nice it will be not to have to pay the confiscatory personal income tax. Of course that will upset every accountant in our nation. They need to remember that artificial intelligence is going to make them obsolete very soon.
