DAVID MARCUS: Trump's tariff triumph big step for America's comeback

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : But when the smoke settled, it was clear that, far from folding, Trump had instituted a historic tariff regime, and somehow got a stock market rally out of it.
48% : Of course, this infuriates the free-marketeers for whom cheapness is next to godliness, but what did they think populism was?

47% : To be sure, those of us who are not committed to life on the road as beat poets need both, but thankfully President Trump understands that global trade is about much, much more than money.
45% : Had his supporters panicked as so many conservative commentators did last week, he would not have achieved the tariffs we've arrived at or the upcoming negotiations.

40% : Make no mistake, as little as two months ago, those accusing Trump of folding would have called the tariffs he landed at on Wednesday unconscionable, but after the past week's turmoil, the largest tariff increase in decades looked like a moderate, market-soothing compromise.
33% : By Thursday morning, Trump had slammed communist China with a whopping 125% tariff, maintained a 25% penalty on certain goods from Canada and Mexico, placed a blanket tariff of 10% on most of the rest of world, and had nations lined up outside the White House to negotiate like it was the Olympic opening ceremonies.
23% : Importantly, Trump is not doing this alone.
18% : You see, while the Ebenezer Scrooges at libertarian think tanks have long since written off small industrial towns as gone for good, Donald Trump has not.
