I agree. It's not about money, it's about flexing. I also believe Trump should be doing it. My country has been taking trade advantage of the USA for decades.
There are no technologies available in China that isn't available in the west, so the only reason jobs were moved overseas (from both Europe and the Americas) was to tap into cheap labour. The argument can actually be turned around fully - with the current available technology, the need for said cheap labour has been drastically reduced. Fully automated production lines basically cost the same to run in the west as in Asia. Free global trade has given some benefits, but has at the same time led to a rather silly situation where once workers in manufacturing are forced to take on low salary service jobs that prevents them from buying the cheaper products. The solution is obviously to create a situation where better paying jobs are created. Trump's plan might actually do just that, if executed well. And then we could start talking about the national security issues, with western nations being fully dependent on what is being produced in imperialistic dictatorships. Or our whole way of life being dependent on global shipping routes being safe and open.
He is talking about using tarriffs short term as a stick, on other countries that are enjoying (because of our idiot current regime) serious advantages. They will normalize, those go away. Others, not overly burdensome but important ones to protect American industries. Check the number of countries globally that do so. We have seen the stupidity of losing our industries, particularly to openly hostile nations who see us as rivals. Normalization time. And anyone who believes "income tax," which basically penalizes people for being productive, is a sound basis for funding is.....just lost. Check the history. Was supposed to last 5 years. A century later, our bloated beauracracies are still picking our pockets. Then there is the abysmal inefficiency of the IRS. 9 cents of each dollar make it to the coffers. Ridiculous. There are better ways to fund a lean, efficient government that do not penalize citizen/taxpayer/voters for working. A true Renaissance is afoot, and the poor ignorant Dems have no idea how lied to, grifted, gaslighted, and disrespected they have been by their Daddy Government, their Party Elite, their Entertainment Mascots, and their abject Propaganda Media. Most will see in a few years, some are too dumb to ever see beyond their indoctrination. MAGA
I make 30k a year…😂I still support Trump ✊ 2024! It’s not about money 💰 it’s about sending a message. I have nothing to lose😂 simply put, this is all because of the democratic polices…since the days of bill Clinton 😂
I was interested in watching your video, but the text on screen is just SOOOOOO annoying! Any chance you would consider using Captions instead, let the viewer disable the text?

Sewing discord since Pharoah.
They just can't help themselves
Whoa, I agree with Ben here
Jeez, never thought I’d find myself applauding Ben fucking Shapiro, but he is spot-on here 🎯

We don't need manufacturing. We can all just be Uber drivers and influencers
Ben Shapiro saying something based?!
Project Liberal posting Ben Shapiro?!?!
We certainly live in strange times 😅
@BrutusBellamy
As Jasper from _The Simpsons_ once said: "What a time to be alive."
Yeah b/c he wanted DeSantas to win... and now he is going to slowly move away from supporting Trump.
2016.
He's not saying anything based. He is about as anti trump as msnbc or cnn.
@@whyomgwhywtf Being anti-MAGA in any case is based, my friend. 🗿

Isn't this video 8 years old? Anything newer? lol
Americas economy is 4/5th services.

To be honest I'd prefer working in a factory rather than the healthcare industry. Like that's for real no trolling preference
like, a chocolate factory with a delicious waterfall?
That's 2016 Ben. Chances are his takes are quite different now.
Also just btw:
Trump 2024.
The tariffs actually worked in 2016. Ben just didn't understand their purpose.
Once a ju, always a ju.
Nah he hates trump just as much now as he did then lol

Well this is stupid
This is 2016 Ben Shapiro, his opinion on Tariffs have changed significantly since then.
Not really. He still says they're bad, his main contention is that they *can* be used effectively, and he explains how in his recent episode.
@dfmrcv862
Nah. He's still "israel first".
@@bowieupland6112 we're talking about tarrifs here, sir.
@@dfmrcv862
It's all related, can't you see?
@@bowieupland6112 no.
This is obviously fake
From 2016.
Shabibo is right, here
What tf going on here??? MAGA
Ben sometimes is a real idiot. He's off and on, but lately he's been off.
