When Trump talks about tariffs and other anti-trade policy, he is intentionally trying to manipulate markets by creating a shortage.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 18, 2017
You as a consumer are better off when you can stretch your dollars in today's consumption or tomorrow's. You benefit from competition.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 18, 2017
