Not surprised. It's what liberals do.
Trump says he'll add $50 to the price of iphones to force apple to build domestically, and republicans cheer.
Trump says he'll jack up prices on import cars by 25%, and repubs cheer.
Really depends on who is delivering the message. Obama adds $10 to a barrel of foreign oil, and everyone shits a brick.
Just be consistent - it's free trade, or it's govt bullshit. Can't be both.
