(The Center Square) – A majority of voters support President-elect Donald Trump’s strategy of threatening steep tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods to incentivize America’s neighbors to close their borders and stop the flow of illicit fentanyl into the U.S.
The poll from Napolitan News Service found that 54% of voters support Trump’s approach, compared to 31% who do not; 15% said they are unsure.
“Support for this approach is found despite the fact that only 37% of voters believe it would be good for the US economy. However, an even larger number (57%) believe it would be bad for the economies of Canada and Mexico,” Napolitan News Service said in a statement accompanying its polling results. “Voters overwhelmingly believe that the economies of Mexico and Canada are already weaker than the U.S. economy. This suggests that voters think the threat of tariffs pose an even greater danger to our neighbors than it does to our country. That logic, if accurate, puts the U.S. in a much stronger negotiating position.”
A majority of voters – 52% – also think Trump’s strategy will work, according to the poll.
“They think it will get our neighbors to help stop illegal immigration and reduce the flow of fentanyl into the United States,” Napolitan News Service said. “Twelve percent (12%) of voters believe that tariffs are bad for the economy but also believe Trump’s policy would be effective.”
The first tariff proclaimed should be the Chinese COVID Import tariff. They imported the virus to the USA, we shall tax every Chionese item imported thereafter until every dime spent to fight this virus is reclaimed if it takes two generation to do it,,,,coming to at least the Trillions added to our national debt that rose it from the time they dumped the virus on us.,,,10 Trillion sounds like a good starting point. Similar tariffs should be imposed upon Mexican imports until every government dime spent on feeding, housing, medicating, processing in court costs, and then deporting them, which cost is reclaimed to the USA from Mexico who benefited from the dollars that flowed into the hands of the cartels that remains to this day in the bank accounts of Drug Lords and their bought Mexican officials. unlike the social failures they dumped upon us that remain in the USA, with no concepts of ability to self-govern their own lives and bring more to the American table than just an appetite. Seath sentences for all caught smuggling in Fentanyl which has killed 100;s of thousands of Americans already. Not cruel or unusual punihsmentg at all.
