Trump’s “Liberation Day” Tariffs Are a Mistake

“Trump, his team, and his allies are dismissing all the panic as the result of the ‘fake news media’ reaching for new lies to try and tarnish his public support and cover up all the success his administration is having in this second term. And after the last ten years of biased, misleading, and outright false coverage deployed by the establishment media to unsuccessfully go after Trump, that’s a believable angle. Establishment politicians, official ‘experts,’ and media figures have cried wolf so many times that it’s remarkable that anyone still trusts them. However, that does not necessarily mean that they are wrong one hundred percent of the time. And in this case, the establishment media and the mainstream economic ‘experts’ are more right than wrong in their warnings about these new tariffs.” (04/04/25)
