If Trump has brought something good to Europe and the world, it is the awareness of the harmfulness of protectionism. Journalists are now all for free trade, suddenly they don't like tariffs. It wasn't always like that.

It's just that they're doing it again out of political opportunism, not principle or public interest. The EU imposes shameful tariffs on the rest of the world and uses many more, much more innovative methods of protectionism, so it was never a problem. When Trump does the same - that's a problem.

At least the media has remained consistent in its inconsistency, hypocrisy and complete blindness to the facts.
