Trump is preferable because he starts trade wars instead of real wars. Over one million dead in Ukraine for nothing. And yeah, other countries take advantage of us. They're allowed to put massive tariffs on us, but we're not allowed to retaliate? Yeah those days are over.

The point isn't to hurt other countries punitively. The point is to have reciprocal trade agreements with us. For the last half century it's been considered acceptable for all other countries to put massive tariffs on our exports while we have to remain free market purists. It's the same concept behind foreign aid. The American middle class is the world's piggy bank. Well no more, and screw your feelings. You're too fragile to deal with some tariffs? What makes you think you'll change the world with Base?
