#THREAD: We’ve said this before but for the life of us we can’t figure out why #Trump won’t give up this #TradeWar. The May jobs report was incredible and the #economy is booming. Now he’s threatening to torpedo all this work to get the economy humming because he’s pissed off
The smart political thing for #Trump and his #GOP allies facing re-election to do would be to run out the clock on this booming #economy all throughout the #Midterms2018 season and campaign hard on his anti-regulation, tax cutting economic policy and spike the football
In a survey conducted last fall, the Chicago Council on Public Affairs found that 72% of Americans thought trade is good for the U.S. economy, 78% thought it benefits consumers like themselves, and 57% thought it helps create jobs in the United States
Even the core #MAGA crowd thinks #FreeTrade is a good idea: 62% of Rs said it was good for the economy, 68% said it benefitted consumers, and nearly half (48%) saw it as good for job creation
And the kicker: Only 28% of Americans agree with Mr. Trump’s statement that a trade war would be good for the United States; a full 64% reject it, including 71% of Independents and 50% of non-college whites.
#TLDR — Trade Wars are bad
