So Trump is going to place high tariffs on foreign-made washing machines and solar panels, but leaves cheap imports from China virtually untouched?  where is the "Bad policy decisions" hashtag when you need one?

 

EDT:

Oh, by the way, how much you wanna bet that China retaliates with their own tariffs on some products from the USA?

And, it's another Republican "Family Values" Rep! Because, of course it is. (I know, this crap is bipartisan. Hi, Anthony Weiner, you slime! But the GOP are the ones who ALWAYS get holier than thou AFAIC, so the fact that stuff like this keeps emerging just makes them all look like the master hypocrites they are.)

I guess this is, as so many have said, mostly just being done to try to salvage the natural gas and coal industries. And of course this will cost more jobs, but who cares, right? Not our 'jobs President.'

 

I have to admit I do wonder how effective the market is as I read India is scaling back due to it not being as big as they thought. (I think it was India)

 

I read that some were saying they actually thought the tariffs would be even higher than this, which makes me wonder just how out of control things are behind the scenes.
