I totally agree with equal trade. I don’t think we should trade with countries that are against our nation and our human rights standards.
Communist China is not playing fair. Their goods should have tarriffs
I oppose giving POTUS any more power in tariffs & trade wars. This should be in hands of Congress to decide as they have a lot more people ato get input from & will listen. If Trump continues with tariff war with China the USA will suffer a lot of pain in the next few years. This country does not like to be bullied & has thousands of years of patience to counter more tariffs. Write to Trump & tell him to quit trade wars that are so easy to win.
Oh Yeah-We see how The Tariffs are [not] working! tRUMP should have left well enough[though not perfect] alone!
Absolutely I agree with the president that adding the citizenship question is crucial to collect an accurate count of the people in this country. This action would enhance the effectiveness for the intended purpose of taking the population count. The question would apply to everyone equally and that is not discrimination. There is nothing unfair about including the question but it is unfair to all people when the question is excluded do to those democrats who object to anything the president does which carries over to all of us who voted for President Trump and who happen to support his reasoning for including the citizenship question. Let’s clarify what the whole issue is really about! It’s about democrats contradicting the president with the hopes of acquiring votes in the near future from ILLEGAL IMMIGRATS in exchange for democrats efforts to facilitate the illegal entrance of people from other counties which is not limited to people of “Hispanic” decent. Those who reside in the United States illegally may oppose the inclusion of the “Question” on the grounds that answering it may be self incriminating. All people in our country are subject to the same laws and as in any nation if we break the law we can assume to pay the consequences agreed upon for those who choose to violate them. Sounds fair enough! Laws are made and put into effect to protect us but it is time for great concern when people who are breaking the law have input into deciding what questions our government can ask on a questionnaire on the basis that it might identify them as an illegal immigrant. It is also an ideal setup/convenience for War criminals, MS13 gang infiltration – helps cut paper work for recruiting new members, and we can be sure any Anti- American terrorist organizations will take all the time saving conveniences they can get. The President is not the problem, he is on our side. It’s too bad more Americans aren’t!
Why do we buy pork from the UK at all?
Thank you for giving us a voice in government.
I wish government would listen to us when we say “stop giving any assistance to ILLEGALS. No Social Security check, no welfare, no food stamps, etc.
That would stop or slow down their coming into America.
Amazing how the left is all for EQUAL rights so they can kill babies, force the LGBT thing on us, but when it comes to trade tariffs they don’t want equality. All their equality rights here are nothing but rights to bully the American people. I’m with one commenter that said we should re-elect Trump AND not elect another Democrat to office for 50 years or so and clean out the RINOs out of Congress.
Why have presidents, both Dems and Repubs, not taken actions on these tarrifs long ago? How totally Stupid for the illogical, insane proportions: 67 persent to 6 percent tarriffs???? What idiotic people “bargin” those Stupid agreements???0
While I favor giving the president freedom to negotiate tariffs to establish a balanced tariff situation, as Trump suggested in
Europe: “Why not eliminate all tariffs?”
One issue I have not seen addressed in the comments (it may be buried somewhere) is that companies can shift the country of origin to avoid tariffs. For example, magnets shipped from China to the USA used to be charged a 3.5% tariff. Many companies avoided this by shipping from China to Mexico or Malaysia and then importing the product into the USA – from countries without a tariff on the product.
Mentioned in one of the responses was manipulation of taxes to benefit exporters. In Europe this is accomplished via rebates on VAT. But each country will have its own methods.
The “tariff” game is a complicated one…
I fully stand with President Trump and our great nation. Most of our Representatives and Senators in Congress DO NOT support the United States and in my opinion are NOT Patriots. We need equal footing economically throughout the world. This Act would allow the President to be able to work to achieve that.
Tariffs are really the only tool he has.
I trust Trump. I DON’T trust ANY “Change America” Democrat’s. Have you noticed almost all TRUMP bumper stickers have been taken off. Is it because we are weak and fear for our jobs, our families. The media is not our friend and yet we feed it to our families and the more it is read or watched, the more it is digested. California and Texas Democrats
are sending millions of dollars to crush and stop a well liked Republican candidate in the state election to gain a pivotal seat in Virginia.
Billionaires move many of our elections. That needs to changed
We support what President Trump is trying to do.

I know this is not relevant to the topic but I was so proud to read today in USA Today that the US postal service has removed approx 300,000 employees over the past 7-8 years.
I did not think this was possible. Now I see that maybe, just maybe, we can do this in all federal agencies and perhaps ( I know I’m dreaming) we can reduce the
cost of fed govt. But, NAH !!! P.S. I haven ‘t smoked anything. This is my real brain.
When stationed in Japan back in 1982 , I learned they marked up a Corvette 100 percent in reselling that car to their own people.
Upon further questioning, I was informed that the Japanese government imposed a 50 percent import fee, to discourage the sale of imports over their own vehicles.
I’d say it’s past due time to reciprocate!!!
There should be another option. Tariffs should only be levied in order to get revenue for the government. Taxes of any kind should never be used by government to influence or control commerce or other behavior of any kind. Government must get out of the business of social and economic engineering. If they said we need to collect tariffs because we need the money in order to stop spending more than we are taking in, which is truly something we need badly, I would be all for it. But to say we should impose tariffs to balance economic scales is arrogant and presumptuous. That isn’t government’s job, balancing economic scales. That is the job of the free market.
Equal trade is what we all want. I have a friend who just lost his job as a result of the China tariff but he knows in the end equal trade is the answer. I’m not an economist or an import/export expert I just can’t understand outside of wages it can cost less to make, ship, transport and distribute goods from China into the USA. One day I’ll have to get a lesson in that.
I am always a little concerned when percentages are used instead of quantities or dollars!
This is just common sense. Why should our producers be subject to dumping by other countries into our market and be barred from the same rights in theirs? It’s just common sense, something liberals have in extremely short supply. They always have grand ideas about how they can spend my money when they’re in charge.
