High tariffs are a bad bad idea too. You venture down the road of Smoot hawley and its a slippery slope.
But 0 tariffs are also bad. It's a fine balancing act.
The closer we get, the louder the shrieking.
Trump knows that somewhere in the middle lies the answer. No successful businessman EVER starts in the middle with negotiations.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.
