Plutocrat Charles Koch: Trump Tariffs ‘Ridiculous,’ ‘Unfair’ to Foreigners
Breitbart, Jul 31, 2018, John Binder

Billionaire plutocrat and GOP mega-donor Charles Koch says President Donald Trump’s tariffs on aluminum, steel, and thousands of Chinese-made imports are “ridiculous” and “unfair” to foreigners.

Koch, who funds a network of organizations with his brother, David Koch, told the media during a conference with donors over the weekend that Trump’s ten percent tariff on imported aluminum and 25 percent tariff on imported steel was not fair to foreign countries and foreign workers.
 
The Trump administration has said the tariffs on imported goods are necessary to protect American jobs and industries from foreign competition where foreign-made products are sold much cheaper than U.S.-made products, driving U.S. companies out of business.

“This is ridiculous, we should just get rid of all barriers except on things that will hurt people,” Koch told the media, according to ABC News.  “Yeah, it’s unfair. It’s unfair to their people,” Koch claimed of the foreign countries and foreign workers who have been hit with Trump’s tariffs.

The President's just ripping off the façade from all kinds of people, and what's usually beneath it is globalism at it finest.

The funny thing is that we've always had global trade. Our problems with the Barbary Pirates came from their control of the gateway to the Mediterranean. We traded with China. This 'Globalism' goes beyond trade.

When the production of any commodity is intrinsically part of a nation's security to continue Being a nation, 'Free Trade' and 'Fairness' to other nations who produce and dump that product Here by using slave labor, are not a matter of fairness, but a matter of Treason.

Am still trying to figure out what a 'Plutocrat' is.  Maybe someone from the 9th planet which is no longer considered a planet?

So there is no sexual component to it? Geez. I gotta get a better dictionary. This "Fred Garvin's Home Companion Dickshionary" just isn't cutting it anymore.

Looks like it.  The Koch Brothers ... had a lot of respect for them but totally disagree on this.
