Wow I wonder what the right wing lemmings will say about this assault on Free Markets. They'll probably support it without any thought, reasoning, or introspection, simply because it's being peddled by a Republican.
Sad

I long stated that we don't need to have our working class be forced in "race to the bottom" compete with low Chinese wages. I want America and it's people to win more than anything else.
It's that simple for me.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump promised on Monday he would take more legal and regulatory steps during the next six months to protect American manufacturers, lashing out against trade deals and trade practices he said have hurt U.S. companies.
Trump climbed into an American-made fire truck parked behind the White House, took a swing with a baseball bat in the Blue Room, and briefly donned a customized Stetson cowboy hat in front of cheering manufacturing company executives from all 50 states gathered to hear him praise their products.
"I want to make a pledge to each and every one of you: No longer are we going to allow other countries to break the rules, steal our jobs and drain our wealth," Trump said.
He was speaking to a trade show - albeit one with a protectionist bent - organized by the White House to spotlight his efforts to revive the flagging manufacturing sector.
Trump's remarks came as his administration laid out its priorities for revising the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Canada and Mexico. Trump is also reviewing options to restrict steel imports.
Trump spoke in front of a panoply of iconic American-made products: Gibson guitars, Maryland crab pots, a Delaware-made NASA space suit and Cheerwine soda.
"Your drivers are very good," Trump said to a representative of Ping, the Arizona-based maker of golf clubs, noting that he had golfed with British pro golfer Lee Westwood, who is a fan.
He discussed sales of Sikorsky (LMT.N) helicopters - "I have three of them!" he said, lifted horseshoes made with Nucor Corp (NUE.N) steel, and strolled past vacuum-sealed Omaha steaks.
He told the manufacturers that he was working for a "level playing field" for their wares.
"But if the playing field were slanted like a little bit toward us, I'd accept that also," Trump said.
