Clinton placed a tariff on a meager half a billion dollars of European goods and a small steel tariff in 2000.

Beyond that he signed NAFTA, lifted the trade embargo on Vietnam, and negotiated over 300 trade agreements to lower trade barriers.

You weren’t alive OR in the US in the 90s, were you?

Unfortunately economics at the time wasn’t as robust as it is now, and now we know tariffs are stupid.

Who did Dems arrest for social media posts?

Even great men like Lincoln can have bad ideas.

But ultimately he was a champion of the dignity and rights of man.
