15. Its a half-truth

Which is to say, it’s a way of lying.

Sanders did support imposing tariffs on Chinese and Japanese steel (which would not affect US industry as much as theirs). He wanted to do this specifically because China and Japan have been manipulating their currency so as to artificially inflate prices and they’ve been accused of “dumping” steel on the international/US markets, artificially and unfairly hurting US steel producers.

It’s hardly the same thing as Mango Unchained arbitrarily imposing a tariff on all countries.
