Donald Trump’s Trade Fallacies

by Dr. Richard M Ebeling

“Donald Trump has said more than once that the most beautiful word in the dictionary is ‘tariff’ and that it is, in fact, his favorite word. It is a seemingly magic word for the president of the United States — a word that when implemented as government policy, makes America richer and stronger, brings jobs to the United States, and helps make America ‘great again.’ The best policy is the full and uncompromising policy of free trade, regardless of what and how other governments interfere with and try to manipulate the exports of their own country.” (06/10/25)
