Of course, we had a lot of protectionism. But I would only call that a trade war when tariffs are imposed as part of a deliberate attempt to hurt other countries, and force them to make concessions.And we've hardly ever done that 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile, what's happening with the trade war? I don't think we know. But I've been doing some background work, and realizing that what we're doing now is pretty much unprecedented. Until Trump, there were almost no trade wars in US history 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Before FDR created the Trade Agreements Program, US trade policy was basically insular/isolationist. We were gonna do what we were gonna do, and not worry about foreign reactions. Smoot Hawley wasn't an attempt to punish anyone, it was just stupid 3/ — PolitiTweet.org
