So are tariffs good things or bad? Because a few weeks ago donald made them sound bad and punitive. He was big angry at woke Canada and Mexico and said if they didn’t comply with something that the tariffs would be higher. So it sounded punitive but was he really just meaning that their tax cuts would be larger? And if tariffs are tax cuts, why do billionaires like Trump and musk need tax cuts? Why not just increase tariffs?
I wish Trump world would make up their mind.
Actually, I just wish the media would stop treating this with the level of dignity that they are. They’re still acting like this is 1998 and bob dole and bill Clinton have slightly different views on things and the media’s job is to be neutral and invisible actors giving “both sides” attention. Instead, I’d like to see them do the responsible job of screaming, “what the **** are you talking about dude? Large tariffs placed on our biggest trading partners is going to jack prices up for consumers and **** over our economy.”
