Trump doubles down on tariffs: ‘Trade wars are good, and easy to win’
By Jordan Fabian - 03/02/18 06:26 AM EST

President Trump on Friday defended his decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum, even as he acknowledged the move could trigger a global trade war.

In a series of early morning tweets, the president continued to defy members of his own party — and some of his top advisers — by insisting that the tariffs would benefit the U.S. economy.

“When a country (USA) is losing many billions of dollars on trade with virtually every country it does business with, trade wars are good, and easy to win,” Trump tweeted.

Whose excellent quote is this?

It's also Affirmative Action for the uncompetitive.
