In my view, "dumping" is gift giving. If other countries want to give us their wares at loss making, unprofitable prices, we should be grateful to them. if we fear that once our industries are bankrupted, they will jack up their prices, our entrepreneurs will keep these factories ready to once again start producing.

Once again I think Trump is wrong here. Trump's economic thought process is to use force to win. He thinks that in a transaction there needs to be a winner and a Loser. He is wrong!!!
Politics is force. Using force is never good. Taxation is force Tariffs are force. How about the US behave properly by eliminating all trade restrictions and lets just see what happens. No more threats no more bombs. It is 2025 lets learn from the mistakes of the past... Just sayin...
Yes, tariffs are an abomination. Particularly when the UB is the absorbing the tariffs from every one of our “ trade partners” globally, but not reciprocally. To designate this asymmetrical policy “ Free Trade”is on a par with the MSM describing the UN/NGO/USAID taxpayer funded violent riots “ Peaceful Protests”. Or the Religious Right “Conservative zealots banning abortion, morning after pills, interstate travel, deputizing citizen snitches to rat out women seeking abortions/doctors willing to perform them -10 k bounty per.And calling themselves The Pro-Women,Party of Small Government Right to Privacy,Dr/Patient Privilege,Self Determination, Religious Freedom”
No tariffs or equilateral reciprocal tariffs constitutes “ Free and Fair Trade”.
However, I’m most troubled by Trump’s very curious choices of who he’s boasting about achieving “ Great deals “ with. UK,Ireland,France,Canada,China ( None have been signed, nor are they “ great”.
Who has he ignored or turned down? Milei, Bibi,Orban- all offered O tariffs. Continuing trashing India,, most shamefully, from the podium in Qatar.Modi offered a 90% reduction in tariffs on goods we’re dependent upon. Which make up our largest purchases from India The proposal was being inked when Trump, once again smeared India as “Taking advantage of America. They are rip off artists-take us for granted because we’ve been stupid.No respect. We can find a better replacement”. And the went on to praise Pakistan! Offered to make business deals and “ great trade partners”. He did the same with Syria and.. Iran! Fawning over the Emir of Qatar ( he and his sons are currently building a Trump Golf Course/Resort in Qatar. He’s actually working on a “deal” with Al Sharaa to build a Trump Tower in Damascus. Can’t make it up. He’s now partner with his new BFF, Larry Fink/BlackRock to rebuild Gaza and Ukraine and business proposals with Saudi Arabia, Qatar and UAE, but unlike Qatar and MSB, The wonderful Foreign Policy/National Security Chief ( member of the Royal Family) was less than enthused.
Trump’s betrayal of Canada was despicable-anathema. With the election 6 weeks away, Poliviere, a stellar candidate with a 37 pt lead who ran on a platform far superior to Trump’s, including banning any and all WEF affiliates from any government entity-including running for office, federal employnent, administrative/Deep State appointments.. Deporting all IRSG/ Islamist migrants, criminal illegals,Nazis/empathizers and prosecuting the sponsors,funders from government actors, private citizens, corporate entities ,agencies abetting the migrant insurgence,strengthening the borders national security,banning NGOs/Orgs. …AND working with Trump to balance trade . Poliviere is also a staunch Israel supporter.
I wish he was our President! Trump first ignored the fact Poliviere was the opposition candidate.. or existed. Instead, doubled down on his 51st State bullshit, bashing Canada and the Canadian people , Canada as a sovereign entity, enacting insane tariffs, calling for Wayne Gretzky to enter the race as if he hadn’t done enough damage, launched an ad hominem, degrading, unwarranted and fallacious attack on Poliviere while lavishing praise on Carney. Trump essentially installed Carney. A monster. Another WEF globalist CommunoIslamoNazi Jew hating, anti-Israel, anti-Canadian Citizen , pro-open border Migrant Insurrectionists, government encouraged euthanasia- for poor people, depressed, handicapped people .. full term abortion on demand, including during labor and if born alive starve, dehydrate , left to die .
Lastly, upon returning from his “ I Love Islamism” Tour, Trump gut punched Meloni, threatening to double the already double tariffs. Meloni and Salvini were amenable to a reciprocal trade deal with greatly reduced tariffs.
What do Trump’s “ Most Favored Nation Leaders “ have in common? They’re all WEF installed puppets who are pro-Islamist Jihad/anti-Israel, rigged, , blocked, overturned elections where the candidate/party ran against migration,Islamism, censorship, taxation, open borders, destruction of the middle class, persecution of natural born citizens, globalism, orchestrated mob protests/ violent riots.and won overwhelmingly
Yet Trump abandoned the heroes he formerly supported and they were fiercely aligned with him. And all aligned with Israel
I am unclear. Isn't dumping unfair competition, using, e.g., China state resources and cheap(er) labor to destroy the enemy country, the US, home production?
All forms of taxation are theft. Making a person pay out of his labor a tax at the point of a gun or threat of imprisonment is OBVIOUISLY a theft. I always knew that tariffs were bad because they are always paid for by the consumer. The same way taxing Amazon or Jeff Bezos that owns Amazon is passed on to the customers. It's simple logic. To me, the only fair way to collect the unconstitutional fiat currency from the public would be by use fees. You use the roads, fees are attached to items that are used on the roads. If you use the schools a fee should be charged to those who utilize the "benefit". Why should I, with no children pay to have someone else's kids indoctrinated? Especially when we homeschooled all four of ours at a minimum net loss of over $1,000,000 during the 20 year span we did so? Frederic Bastiat had it all figured out over 170 years ago, but here we are in the modern age being stolen from by the same people that stole from our relatives that far back. The international Bankster cartels...who actually are the behind the scenes rulers of evil.
I've been reading your writings for years. I wish I could afford to pay for your effort but my financial circumstances preclude that. https://www.courageouslion.us/p/the-law-2024
Dear CL: I favor user fees too. Provided they are for services rendered by private entrepreneurs, not the govt.
so called dumping is part of free enterpries:
