Some fallacies running wild, free of economics logic: If a nation runs a trade deficit with another nation that other nation is cheating. That it’s good to keep the money at home. That tariffs will restore the middle class. That only the rich benefit from free trade.

It wasn't just the tariffs, it was the flakiness of the "analysis" underpinning them. At that point, even sanewashing became impossible

Free trade has hollowed out the working class, so we need high tariffs to kill free trade, but we'll lower our tariffs if other countries agree to lower theirs, and then we'll celebrate the great deal that created more free trade, which is the thing we started this war to end

Geopolitically, nothing matters more than winning AI. These tariffs, as constructed, essentially guarantee that America will lose “AI” by making America the most expensive place on earth to build AI datacenters. The semiconductor exemption was irrelevant for AI. Datacenter

You idiots. The Trump team didn’t use a formula of (exports-imports)/exports. As Kush here points out, the formula was (exports-imports)/exports*4*.25

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
There has never been anything like this. Trump and Vance look like children talking about accommodating Putin. Zelensky holds his ground and defends his nation… and the free world.

If we go through w these 25% tariffs on Mexico/Canada and 10% on China, and it leads to a full-scale trade war, it'll be a massive economic self-own
