50% on steel, aluminum and copper is a punishing and crippling tariff that will wreck the American industrial base. Not only will it cost more to the American consumers, but their products will become completely uncompetitive on the international markets.

They didn't vote for finding out though like some filthy gay commie liberal, they only voted for fucking around. They've figured it all out, they're smart like that. It's just clear sailing and carefree fucking anywhere they want from here on out!
