  1. Why does the mainstream media only scaremonger when it comes to fair trade? Would it have anything to do with the fact the Western Globalists make more money by offshoring our manufacturing? Certainly not!!! Most Americans would agree with equivalent tariffs with China. Unless it is the objective to harm the US and help China, this only seems fair.

  2. Perhaps we need reciprocity tariffs, i.e. U.S. uses the same tariffs and other restrictions used by China or other country.
    That would be a real “Free Trade Agreement!”
