The Comprehensive Case Against Trump
Alexander Schmitz3mo*10

The case against tariffs can be even made clearer. I am a German. Few days ago, I heard in the radio, that by the end of this year, China will most likely overtake the US as the country where Germany buys most from.

The main reason for this, the radio commentators said, is the Trump tariff.

We (Germans) are apparently buying less from the US and more from China. 

It is easy to understand and logical: if two vendors (US, China) offer the same kind of product... And the US increases prices by 15÷ (at least), we buy less from the US and more from China.
