Herman Cain’s argument against Romney’s remarks about the disastrous economic policies of Donald Trump omits a key point.
Trump’s anti-trade policies threaten deep tariffs on goods imported from China and Japan. Economists have predicted the loss of tens of thousands of US trade-related jobs and a deep recession if such tariffs were enacted. So, Cain misses the elephant in the room. The question I would want Trump to answer is: Do you know who would pay these tariffs? Answer: the US consumer. Stephen Wollack
