What we have wrong here, Shannon, is this isn't a trade war. This is balancing our, our economy with countries that have taken advantage of us. There's countries for decades that have got rich over the backs of the workers here in, in America. What's happened is we've lost manufacturing jobs were because of our unfree, uh, unfree, um, unfair trade deals that have left America, went to other countries, building their products and turning it back around and selling it to our economy. The countries need access to our economy because we're the largest and the greatest economy in the world. The problem is it's costing us manufacturing jobs. It is time for someone to stand up. And I applaud president Trump for having a backbone and being the first president to ever stand up and say, hold on a second. It's not about today's economy. It's about the future of America's economy going down the road. We know the trade deficits have spread. They've only got worse year after year after year. And at some point, Someone had to do something about it and President Trump is finally doing that.
