On Friday, Peter Navarro, the director of the White House national trade council, defended President Trump’s plan to impose tariffs on aluminum and steel by citing Trump’s win in the 2016 Republican primary.

Navarro reportedly played a leading role in persuading Trump to impose tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, which Trump unexpectedly announced his intention to do in a Thursday meeting with steel and aluminum executives at the White House.

During a Fox News interview with Navarro on Friday morning, host Sandra Smith pointed out to him that many Republicans oppose this tariff plan, citing concerns about U.S. jobs and prices.

Navarro seemed somewhat offended that Smith would even mention the widespread pushback to the idea — before dismissing these concerns by citing Trump’s primary win.

“Here’s the reality — in 2016 the president ran against 16 other Republicans. All of them were opposed to his trade policies, they were all, quote, ‘free traders’ who don’t care about the American manufacturing workers,” Navarro said. “The president stood up for them, he ran on that, he got elected on it.”..................

1. everyone cares about American workers.....

what drumpf is too stupid to understand is that you don't cripple many industries that employ millions to prop up one industry that employs 140,000

2. Let's get something clear,

this Tariff issue apparently came into focus last week between Trump/Icahn/ and Ross. Change the narrative time folks. And it worked. Anyone talking Mueller today? Now we here Icahn Dumped his Steel Holdings last week.

And the Trump Crime Syndicate scores another win. Are we tired of winning?

3. I seriously wonder

if Trump and the .1% want to crash the economy to pick up cheap stocks and real estate.

Their money is safe in offshore bank accounts after all.
