Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi call for high tariffs on China .

Both politicians call for cracking down on China , but each imply solutions are long overdue in clips that are 20 and 30 years old .

Pelosi and Schumer sound different now, though they insist that Trump is not following the path they laid out.

David Madland , an economist with the Center for American Progress , predicted that Trump ’s high tariffs will hurt the American public even if some trade renegotiations were necessary.

Trump allies have not focused on the nuance, instead pointing out the numerous times in the past when Democrats and left-leaning entities called for a rebalancing of trade relations.
