Meanwhile, in the normal world:
"#Ecuador president says new #trade deal with #Canada finalized"
Apparently, #Trump admires President #McKinley's #tariffs (same guy Trump replaced #Denali's name with)
This fucking moron is trying to recreate antiquated #protectionist bullshit from the #GildedAge that doesn't work in the modern world
#China will expand it's trade
Canada and Ecuador and others will bypass the #USA
And the USA will suffer mightily
So fucking stupid

because we've grown past that era
usa benefits much more from free trade- mercantilism is for developing countries
or as you note, isolated cases for specific reasons
what trump is doing just hits everything. any hope it will foster american manufacturing is greatly offset by the huge hit in trade. why? because old stupid assholes think the 1950s can come back?
furthermore, other countries grow stronger ties with each other
and our rivals
this is a gift to china
