Trump team floats tariffs
This could get dicey.
Depending how it is done there could be many unintended consequences. No matter what, prepare to pay more for imported goods. Will it help bring jobs back or just raise consumer costs. We will find out.

Re: Trump team floats tariffs
This could be quite a tightrope walk.
Tough talk on trade was a real crowd pleaser during the campaign.
But, In reality, tariffs have the real potential to increase costs on goods purchased by his fans.
I have a hunch that, after some saber rattling, Trump loses interest and another campaign promise heads for the wastebin.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

One more of his "promises" that will likely fall flat.
Get used to it folks !
