President Donald Trump has imposed tariffs on many countries. The stock market is down. The liberal news and pundits are forecasting inflation, unemployment and recession. It is not that bad. They are trying to scare the American people. Trump is correcting a problem.
I compare his tariffs to a drug addict. The addict has a real problem. If the addict is wise enough to seek rehabilitation, there is much pain in the withdrawal process. However, the addict will live a better life afterwards.
For years, foreign countries, big and small, have imposed tariffs on us. As a result, manufacturing jobs have declined in this country. In the future, we may be held hostage by our enemies. We may have to get into global conflicts to protect our supply chain.
Trump is using tariffs to fix these problems. There will be pain, some unemployment and inflation. The affected countries will howl and raise their tariffs on our goods. Wall Street will be unhappy. Inflation may go up. Could it be worse than it was under President Joe Biden?
After a short time, more businesses will build in this country. The job market will improve. Inflation will be lower. Most important, we will be more self-sufficient and less dependent on other countries.
Don’t let the liberals scare you. Give Trump a chance. We will weather the storm and the skies will become blue.
