Bad Reporting Fuels the Fire

Could it be that people are boycotting in anticipation of tarrifs? I know that in Canada people are boycotting American goods

Surely one of the aims of a tariff is to make the price of locally produced goods competitive with imported goods. Therefore, agricultural products produced in the USA which are given tariff protection should be competitive with imports. The things illustrated in the video were corn, soy beans and fruit. These are things used in large amounts in the USA, so the same things as imports should be more expensive.

 

I did not want to  concentrate on products themselves, but I wanted to highlight the propaganda aspect of the video - stating the worst to create fear. As I said, I think this video is anti-Trump, but it uses the same falsehood-telling of pro-Trump videos. Both sides of the propaganda war use lies, which is bad reporting.
