How is the U.S. the bad guy on tariffs?
By Eric Utter

One question: how the hell did we, the United States, get to be the bad guy on tariffs?

After all, we've been virtually supporting the rest of the world for decades.

How are we in the wrong for imposing the same -- or even half of -- the tariffs other countries impose on us?

How are we supposed to compete with countries that not only tariff us but subsidize their own companies and industries, as well?

It is about time we leveled the playing field.

This is as if the U.S. hockey team had been playing every game against international competition with only four skaters to the other side's five, and, in some cases, only three skaters to the other side's five.

Partially... the US will always be the bad guy in some guy's minds, but of course Trump is bellicose about the whole thing, attracting negative attention. And his graphic was, IMO, misleading.
