WSJ Addendum. Saturday, March 10. 2018

Mr. Trump’s signing of new 25% tariffs on steel and 10% on aluminum
imports is poised to reshape the U.S. economy. It is the most significant
break in decades from the country’s traditional free-trade stance and has
threatened to widen a split within the ​Republican Party between an older
breed of internationalists and newer Trump supporters.
The tariff is coming -- egad!
It’s not just a whimsical fad.
The Party is split,
With half in a snit --
They’re hissing and spitting up plaid.

The European Union and Japan pressed the U.S. to exempt them from
President Donald Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs on Saturday,
firing their opening salvos as officials seek to avoid a trade war with the
world’s biggest economy.
When Europe and Japan decide/to snub our Jekyll and our Hyde/
They’ll put up tariffs faster than/any plain old Superman.

If children in kindergarten can practice active-shooter drills,
then they can also walk out to call for safety, some parents and educators say.
A young boy decided to stray/away from his school one fine day/
when asked why he strayed/he said in First Grade/he wasn’t a student, but prey.
