It has resulted in pissed off allies.
The justification, i.e. national security, for the steel tariffs is especially galling for the Canucks who have lost their share of soldiers in Afghanistan.

Domestic steel mills are making a killing though!
Honestly these tariffs are arguably the dumbest ing thing I’ve ever seen a President do.....which is saying ALOT!
when you've lost the Koch brothers...
https://www.marke ch.com/story/koch-brothers-finance-campaign-to-oppose-trumps-tariffs-2018-06-04Three organizations financed by conservative billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch are launching a multimillion-dollar campaign against President Donald Trump’s tariffs on imports.
The groups said Monday that the multiyear initiative will include advertising, education of activists, lobbying, policy analysis and “grass roots mobilization.” The groups — Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, Americans for Prosperity and The Libre Initiative — released a list of trade recommendations that focus on encouraging compe ive markets and eliminating tariffs.
He said he would. One might ding the guy, but he has been trying to keep his campaign promises.
The problem is that the promises were ty to begin with, and based, like so many Republican policies, on ignorance. These were just more so, IMO.
He is angling to ditch NAFTA and wants a "sunset" provision that CAN and MEX view as game changers. The stupidity is just getting warmed, up, because Trump thinks "we can't lose".
G7 meeting coming up, in Canada. Look for that not to go well. Iran deal pullout, TPP pullout, Tarriffs... he has done something that has pissed off every other member of that group.
I guess we will get to see what happens when you have a meeting with people you just on.

The monster turns on his creators. 'em, and the Trump voters. At this point, I will have little pity to see anyone who voted for this guy thinking he would "shake things up" lose their asses, when the rest of the world slaps tariffs on US goods, and starts shunning US businesses.
Putin cartoon that isn't even remotely funny or related. Yikes.
Why wouldn't Pootin be pleased by the chaos, polarization, govt destruction caused by his Machurian Candidate, in his strategy of "whatever's bad for America, is good for Russia"
what do you think about corporate welfare and government picking winners and losers, Chris?
I don't have an opinion on your opinion.
That's what it means to have tariffs, Chris. It means the government puts its thumb on the scales.
The government also decides which companies have to play by the rules and which get waivers.
Those aren't opinions -- that's how tariffs work.
You don't need to educate me on tariffs.
I have said it from the beginning, trumps gone completely off the rails with this tariff .
so what's your opinion on the tariffs?
On a brighter note after mexico announced its counter tariffs pork butts should be cheap this summer at HEB.
I like the strategy and advocated for it on page 1 ITT
what's the strategy?
walk us through the 4D chess
the ends justify the means.
where have I heard this before?
Not really an opinion. Trump administration wants to order power companies to buy coal power that is more expensive than the alternative.
Should the government tell some private companies to make less money, so others can make more?
It's an opinion.
lol ducking opinions on a discussion board.
how alpha.

Not everybody in the party is on board, however.
