Now, with #rumptariffs taking a hit, RV sales (Elkhart's #Indiana lifeline) are on a steep decline.

7. When you pay more for your supplies, and you have to charge more...

especially when people are also paying more for other things, they aren't going to buy the RV. That is what happens when you take a dull axe into a situation that demands a scalpel. I am not a proponent of tariffs, although I understand that President Obama used them surgically as have other administrations. There are ways to protect an industry that do not involve having a trade war with one of the largest suppliers of both raw materials and finished goods to the US. Trump may or may not know this but he almost certainly doesn't care.

I feel bad for the suffering that this situation causes, but at the same time, their continued support of Trump, as if doing something stupid for the 300th time will certainly fix the problem that the other 299 times did not fix, makes me less sympathetic.
