I like Trump on some levels and hate him on other levels. He is doing right by Israel. He is doing right with North Korea if they follow through. He is making friend with his enemies, which is ok, but he is making enemies with his friend and allies. By whacking duties on things that will drive up the cost of items that his fellow Americans have to buy, using false pretenses to do so, does not make sense. If he puts 25% duty on cars, along with the duty on aluminum and steel, it will increase the cost of a car by $8000.00. Apparently you now have the lowest unemployment rate in your history, some jobs go begging for someone to fill them, still he is turning people away that might fill those jobs. You don't have the capacity to manufacture all the aluminum and steel you need, so you still have to import it and pay that 25% duty, which drives up prices. You can't produce lumber fast enough to keep up with demand, so you must import lumber which has a duty slapped on it driving up cost. Penny wise and pound foolish comes to mind.
