Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that Trump is a proponent of tariffs. According to him, other countries such as Mexico and China are stealing jobs from American workers, particularly in manufacturing. To bring jobs back, Trump wants to place tariffs on products from other countries.

2018 has been a good year for manufacturing jobs. In fact, it's growing at the fastest rate in 23 years

However, soybean farmers in the US are beginning to suffer as other countries impose tariffs on the US.

Trump also says that other countries have tariffs on the US and that slants trade in their favor. And to his credit, China did have tariffs on the US, even before the trade war that is going on right now, and so did the EU.

The US should not implement more tariffs, and should remove the tariffs recently implemented along with a personal apology from the President and his Trade advisers for being ****ing morons.
