The stark disconnect not only runs the risk of choking off much of the global commerce the president claims to welcome but threatens to stick U.S. consumers and businesses with higher costs.

At last week's World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, President Donald Trump mixed compelling pro-growth talking points with his signature streak of aggressive protectionism. It's safe to say that these two ideas are officially on a collision course.

On one hand, Trump insists that "America is back and open for business." His promises to make America a 15 percent corporate-tax haven and lower energy costs are signs of this commitment.

'Collision course' is a scare word when 'balancing' would be far more accurate. As in balancing the typical confiscatory 'tax the serfs' labor scheme currently employed to keep them on the plantation. The golden hero has been clear about the desire to reduce income and corporate taxation in exchange for very old scheme of tariffs.
 Maybe somebody should tell the clowns at Reason that libertarianism isn't just for weird democrats.
 Not a word about the current Tariff imbalance with asia/europe. Clowns!

Mexico will pay for the wall

Since SpecOps is gonna raid the cartels, take their money and use it to build the wall. Ergo Mexico is paying for the wall.
