US Ends Support For Ukrainian F-16s

They’re useless when used as blunt instruments as we’re seeing today. Broad tariffs on raw materials and goods - the cost hurts the general public more than any benefit to the few.

There’s a place for tariffs. Protecting against countries that undercut us by skirting international labor or environmental laws is a decent example. Protecting a specific, narrow industry that has national defense implications could be another.

But against Canada and Mexico? GTFO. That’s nonsense that’s going to hurt the average consumer.

I agree with everything that you've said. I think you're attacking args I haven't made- im against almost all of the current admin's policies including the tariffs. I'm pretty much only pro tariffs on China
