What was Cruz thinking with that "Tariffs are a tax on you!" line? Trump just explained tariff 101 to him that the idea is to promote local industry by keeping out foreign competition, it's such an easy answer.

Except it promoted local industry by just making foreign industry more expensive. So you're still going to be paying more if the local industry was previously getting undercut

I'm going apoplectic listening to Cruz attack Trump for how damaging his tariffs would be while extolling the virtues of his own plan to tax imports in the same breath.

The loving gall.

So let me get this right

Trump's plan is to posture and hope they fold, which obviously they won't, then pass 100% of the cost onto the consumer. What incentive do the companies have to move back to the US to avoid the tariff in that case? It's not like we're the biggest market anymore

Is Cruz an actual economic idiot or just playing one? What's the difference between a tariff and an import tax? Why did he feed Trump that 45% tariff question? Even as Cruz was talking I already knew what was Trump's plan of attack.

No company is going to spend tens or hundreds of millions building factories domestically when they can spend a fraction of that to get rid of the president attempting to levy any tariffs.

quote:

Donald Trump's presidential campaign may be a little light on specifics, but that may actually be a good thing, according to one of his supporters in Tennessee.

The supporter, who only identified himself as Austin to Fox News' Anna Kooiman, said that he voted for Trump because he was tired of "establishment politicians and Donald Trump brings a fresh new perspective."

Asked whether he was concerned about the lack of policy details Trump has put forward, Austin suggested that other candidates would steal Trump's ideas if he was more specific.

"I am not concerned about that. I think he is not being specific so he does not give his competition everything that he's doing so they copy him," Austin said.
