W

hen President Donald Trump threatens to
slap massive tariffs on trading partners such as
China and Mexico, economic textbooks want
to self-destruct like the smoky opening scene in a Mission:
Impossible movie. After all, free trade drives down prices
while offering consumers more choices. In the 1960s, a
mom and dad would save for weeks to buy their child a
back-to-school coat. Today, Walmart solves that challenge
for parents without their skipping a meal.

joined the chorus criticizing free trade. They have persuaded

can devastate company towns. The free market is not a painfree market.

workers, to open up foreign markets to U.S. exporters,
without tipping the global economy into a trade war? The
answer is yes, and Trump merely needs to flip the White
House history pages back to the 1980s. President Ronald
Reagan taught us how to handle the following paradox:
We need trade to stay prosperous, yet we need a national
identity to remain a country. Americans once took pride
in "Made in the USA," but nearly half of millennials now
say the American dream is dead. In 2015, President Barack
Obama visited Nike's headquarters in Oregon to plug the
