Even if you think Trump is right about this spectacular exercise in economic self harm, if you're a Republican politician, odds are strong that you disagreed with what he's claiming 10 years " and in some cases 10 hours " ago. Maybe you've been studying the flimsy protectionist literature of the last decade and been convinced. But you probably are just outsourcing your judgment to partisan or personality cult --------.
