Maybe Donald Trump really does believe that “tariff” is the most beautiful word in the dictionary.

Despite higher prices, criticism from trade experts and displeasure among voters, Trump holds fast to his belief that imposing the highest import duties on U.S. trading partners since the Great Depression is a winner.

A recent poll suggests that is a big gamble with less than a month before the Nov. 3 midterms. Most U.S. adults disapprove of his trade policies, with more than 64% saying he has gone too far with his latest tariffs, compared with 58% in January.

    He is such a moron. It’s exasperating to hear him talk about “all the money we have coming in”. Money that is basically a regressive tax on everyone. That money is from US.

    What makes it even worse is he thinks it is his personal slush fund to just hand out to whoever he pleases.
