US President Donald J Trump WASHINGTON — Higher prices on shoes and televisions. A stock market in freefall. Job losses in the very manufacturing-heavy industries the tariffs are allegedly supposed to protect. For US President Donald Trump and his allies, the results of his massive and unprecedented tariffs restricting American trade with every country in the world are just a bit of tough love to help America get stronger and return to a glorious past.  “We have communities and families with children, and dreams and aspirations for those children, and we’re no longer going to barter their future for cheap goods made in China,” Rep. Riley Moore (R-W.Va.) said on Friday on Fox Business. “We do need to reorient this economy.”
