A few facts, here, for the FOXSheep who don’t get them, as Dotard’s 50% tariffs on aluminum and steel kick in today.

 This isn’t the first time that that incompetent jerk put yuuuge tariffs on steel. In his first ‘reign of error’, the Lyin King put 25% tariffs on steel, and it temporarily added about 6000 jobs, and then cost over 75,000 before the jackass removed them. 

Did the dumbshit learn anything? 

Of course not.

At first, the 2018 Trump steel tariffs added about 6,000 jobs to the U.S. steel industry’s work force, according to the Census Bureau, The Wall Street Journal reported. But by the end of 2019, it added, those gains evaporated, leading to the loss of about 75,000 U.S. manufacturing jobs, according to a study by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Why? Well, as The Journal wrote in a May 17, 2021, editorial titled “How Trump’s Steel Tariffs Failed,” his 25 percent tariff “hurt industries that buy and use steel, plus their workers and millions of consumers.” That’s because so many more American jobs are held by people who use steel than make steel.
