This kind of sums up Trump...and how people view him.
Stossel is a free trade guy, so he counts the trade war as "the Bad." Free trade is best, of course, if you can get it. But free trade is like peace with justice: You can only have it if the other side wants it, too. If the other side doesn't want peace with justice, you can surrender to get peace with injustice, or you can fight. Same with trade.
When the Left starts to be competitive in the Good column (currently their policies are bad in my opinion), then maybe people will start to give more weight to the Ugly stuff Trump does. Until then, the Good stuff is trumping everything, so to speak. Obviously the Dems think their own candidates have a lot of Good...so they scream about the Ugly stuff Trump does. Just the way of things.
