“President Donald Trump’s justifications for tariffs keep shifting — one moment they’re to cut the flow of illegal drugs and immigrants, the next, they’re to bolster American businesses and jobs. But the argument that seems to resonate most with the public is that they will result in a stronger and more competitive U.S. economy. Economists aren’t convinced, to put it mildly. The fact is that American government is often the biggest impediment to the workers and employers that politicians claim to be helping.” (04/07/25)
