you not being american speaks volumes of your stance, you are not the one being robbed to feed the have nots and everyone claiming to be needing american money.  you are angry because your gravy train is being cut off and that is understandable.  i don't mind helping those in need, but i want to have a say in who gets MY money, and why.

the tarrifs level the playing field.  i don't see you complaining about the vats your government puts on your stuff, the tariffs are essentially a vat.  why do you think its ok for your country to put a tax on american goods coming in but it's not ok to put a tax on your goods going out?  a bit hypocritical.  The tariffs are retaliatory in nature, if the countries were not taxing usa, the usa would not be taxing them back.

anytime any system has been abused and is brought back into alignment, there is always complaining, mainly from the ones who were usurping it and can no longer do so.  im willing to give it some time to work out, because i see things getting better for Americans.  I see american money being used to better american lives, which is where it should be put to use.  if other americans want to help the 'needy' here there or wherever, they can do so out of their own wallets, on their own time and dime, and NOT using politicians to steal that money for them.

me rich, not quite, but i did earn all my money by working hard, and don't like it being taken to give away to others, many who have done nothing to earn it.  charity is for churches, not government.  i'll buy american and not pay tarriffs.  or the companies can build it here in america and avoid the tariffs, putting american people to work, same benefit, it helps americans.  if the euro clan wants to hate me for that, ill sleep easy at night.

Absolutely comical. American money means nothing to me, I depend on you (as in the country) for nothing. Well, except for my Zero because that's literally the only American made thing I own. I pay my taxes and it goes to those in need in my own country, not entirely but a damn sight higher percentage of it goes to where it's needed.

the tarrifs level the playing field.  i don't see you complaining about the vats your government puts on your stuff, the tariffs are essentially a vat.  why do you think its ok for your country to put a tax on american goods coming in but it's not ok to put a tax on your goods going out?  a bit hypocritical.  The tariffs are retaliatory in nature, if the countries were not taxing usa, the usa would not be taxing them back.

It doesn't level shit, the tariffs are disproportionate. Yes my country charges an import tax on goods but it is the same regardless of where it comes from. The American tariffs are just a petty attempt at punishing the countries that can produce stuff cheaper (and often better) but in reality it just punishes the consumer.

And you're that naïve to think that these the money from these tariffs will do anything to help you, the people you care about, or anyone genuinely in need? Your president, your government, doesn't give a shit about any of those people. All Mr Trump cares about is power and money, the only reason he ran for president is because there are some things that even money can't buy (plus the aforementioned ego). He is a literal racist, predator, felon, and probably any other negative descriptor you can think of and the only reason he gets away with it is money and power.

i'll buy american and not pay tarriffs.  or the companies can build it here in america and avoid the tariffs, putting american people to work, same benefit, it helps americans.

Again, you're living in a fairy tale. Good lucking finding all those American made alternatives. Even many of the American brands have their site made abroad. Raise the tariffs on that country? Fine, they'll just move on to the next one. Take all of them out and they'll simply just put up with it because it's not worth the hassle when the rest of the world is fine with buying foreign.
