By the way, a strong dollar does not make imports to the US more expensive. It's actually the opposite.
My bad - I apologise unreservedly over the dollar comment. It was a stupid mistake to make.

I didn't feel like I was being confrontational. Again, I apologise if I came across that way, it certainly wasn't my intention.

I was specifically referring to the comments that you were comparing Trump's comments about tariffs and deportations in the same way that they have been interpreted by the anti-Trump media and gave some examples of how the threat of tariffs would stop many US companies moving their businesses overseas.

I also couldn't see what relevance the deportation of illegal immigrants bore on the economy, apart from the fact that unscrupulous employers would have to employ legitimate people and pay them a legitimate wage.
