Years ago, I read Milton Friedman's book and assumed he was right.
Then, I heard what Ross Perot had to say and was concerned about his concerns.
Then I heard what Trump had to say back in the 80s, and agreed with what I heard.
Strangely enough, I find myself listening harmoniously to Nancy Pelosi of 1996.

Understand my POV...
I think you are a nice man, but I am not concerned with reading anything that supports your position at this time.

At this point,
Trump is president. He has the pen and the office behind him.
He will do what he does and the other forces out there will do what they do.
My opinion is irrelevant. So is yours.
We are just spectators, privy to no factual occurrences and in-no-rooms. Very short on personal knowledge of international trade. Reliant on other people who are mostly just conjecturing. 99% of them arent in-the-room either.

In your case, Trump is not even the president of your country.

Given all that and given that the wheels are in motion, my only reasonable position is to watch Trump and his people, and hope that they achieve an outcome that is desirable for my country.
I understand that you feel the same about your country.

Buckle up.
