I wonder why Trump didn’t just appoint Bernie as his VP? They have the same understanding of trade, which is to say, they don’t understand it at all.

this whole line of thought that trade was free and somehow the current admin closed them off is more than misunderstood. 

if you throw a jab, let it be good.

It was more free than it is now. Never in my life did i think the US would embrace Soviet style central planning.

if doors to exit a theatre are open and doors to enter are closed you wouldn't say the theatre is 'more open' or 'kind of open'. trade that's not free on both side is not 'more free'. 

don't be disingenuous. if you jab let it be good.

that's not what free trade is 

and that's what i mean by being disingenuous 
or simply misunderstood 
hopefully the latter

You don’t need an analogy for this.

It costs more to trade with the rest of the world today than 2 months ago. IE less free trade.
