Trump fired a series of tweets boasting his own tariff policies again. He noted there is now a “big a growing” steel industry after the 25% tariffs. He also blamed that there were “tremendous ground” lost to China since the “ridiculous one sided formation of the WTO”. He also claimed that it’s time for the farmers as “one of the biggest beneficiaries of what is happening now.” The country will make up for the differences if China doesn’t continue to buy from them.
Kind of boring and hardly constructive.
In one year Tariffs have rebuilt our Steel Industry – it is booming! We placed a 25% Tariff on “dumped” steel from China & other countries, and we now have a big and growing industry. We had to save Steel for our defense and auto industries, both of which are coming back strong!

….so that they will be more competitive for USA buyers. We are now a much bigger economy than China, and have substantially increased in size since the great 2016 Election. We are the “piggy bank” that everyone wants to raid and take advantage of. NO MORE!

….of the tremendous ground we have lost to China on Trade since the ridiculous one sided formation of the WTO. It will all happen, and much faster than people think!

….This money will come from the massive Tariffs being paid to the United States for allowing China, and others, to do business with us. The Farmers have been “forgotten” for many years. Their time is now!
