Why They Hate Trump

Here it comes!!  MAGA's Ride With the Valkyries:

...The heart of my vision is a sweeping pro-American overhaul of our tax and trade policy to move from the Biden system that punishes domestic producers and rewards outsourcers, to a system that REWARDS domestic production and taxes FOREIGN companies and those who export American Jobs. They will be rewarded and rewarded greatly. And our country will benefit.

To achieve this goal, we will phase in a system of universal, baseline tariffs on most foreign products. On top of this, higher tariffs will increase incrementally depending on how much individual foreign countries devalue their currency. They devalue their currency to take advantage of the United States, and they subsidize their industries, or otherwise engage in trade cheating and abuse. And they do it now like never before, and we had it largely stopped and it was going to be stopped completely within less than a year.

As tariffs on foreign producers go up, taxes on American producers will go down and go down very substantially. And that means a lot of jobs coming in.

Not only will this system end our gaping trade deficits—and they are massive right now—and bring back millions of American jobs—it will also bring trillions and trillions of dollars pouring into the U.S. Treasury from foreign countries and allow us to invest that money in American workers, American families, and American communities....

That's why you may have noticed headlines this morning telling you that "Tariffs are Hitler" and "Tariffs Push Granny Off the Cliff" and "Tariffs Are Hiding Under Your Bed" (a favorite of the Chamber of Commerce.)

No other Republican candidate has a position remotely close to this one.

That's deliberate:  they don't support this position, which means............ahhhh..........well...........go back to doing drugs, peasants.
