Trump’s tariffs are a strategic move to address trade imbalances and protect American industries. Short-term costs may rise, but cheaper domestic energy and rebalanced trade will lower prices long-term. Relying on foreign imports undermines stability and hurts U.S. farmers in the long run. - ThreadSky

You forgot to include labor costs, for some reason.

Whatever everyone fails to see is that Trump is undermining the very contract he negotiated in his first term!! He even changed the name NAFTA to United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). His deal. That he now says is terrible. Everyone has a very short memory with all his chaos.

Trump’s first-term policies were crafted under vastly different conditions. Biden’s open-border policies unleashed chaos, with millions of illegals flooding in, straining the U.S. Mexico enabled this crisis. Times change—nothing prevents renegotiating bad deals when national security is at stake.

Agreed, there are too many asylums seekers. But why vote down the bill in Congress to get more border agents to process these people? That could've expedited extradition. Surely you cannot abide by the level of cruelty, which he seems to delight in.
