#1 Doesn't make much sense to tax food when Airbus is the culprit. A 15% tariff on aircraft would have priced Airbus out of the US market for years.

#3 Tariffs on airframes hurt stockholders.
Tariffs on olives hurt eaters.

#6 I'm going to enjoy watching our Democrats scream like pigs being castrated with hammers in response to this.

#7 People who buy French wines, cheeses and olives can easily afford the small increase.

It's like Europe is just used to keeping our products out and favoring their own. When we react and restore fairness, it's suddenly a war crime. If tariffs don't work then why does Europe use them?
