Trump tarrifs reduce manufacturing jobs in America

General Motors is cutting its workforce 15%.  A big reason for this is dramatically increased steel prices due to Trump's idiotic tariffs.  A lot of steel goes into cars and trucks.  Caterpillar needs to raise prices.  GM too, plus they cut jobs.  This was very predictable.  Trump's lack of knowledge about trade deficits and the effect of tariffs hurts America.


So, what does our I-Never-Ever-Admit-To-A-Mistake president do?  He blames someone else.  In this case it is the Fed.  But it's Trump.


Ignorance combined with a preposterous narcissistic ego becomes a willful ignorance incapable of admitting mistakes and making corrections.   We all get hurt by this, but many of those hurt the most are Trump voters as they watch their jobs go away.  This is a very sad time in America. 


But it will pass and this temporary president will tumble off into the garbage pile of of failures.  America will find its spirit and soul once again and become a beacon of hope, freedom, and heart.
