Despite former President Trump’s claims to the contrary, there is overwhelming evidence that Americans bore the brunt of his tariffs—and would do so again if he is reelected and fulfills his pledge to impose more aggressive protectionism... cato.org/blog/americans-paid… #CatoTrade

.@EBGresser is spot on with his op-ed - Trump’s #tariffs could mirror Hoover’s Depression-era results - thehill.com/opinion/finance/… #TariffsHurt #TariffsareTaxes

Trump’s tariffs could mirror Hoover’s Depression-era results

Even if they fall short of that, they presage bad news — lower growth and higher inflation, family budgets stretched thin, and perhaps injury to the Constitution.

In @thehill today on Trump campaign tariff proposal & its eerie resemblance to Herbert Hoover's 1928 platform, w/ thoughts on its impacts on hourly-wage family tax burdens, inflation, & (w/ an attempt to impose it by decree) on the Constitution: thehill.com/opinion/finance/…

.@FareedZakaria is completely right on #tariffs - "They have not altered China’s policies one iota and have cost the American economy in money and lost jobs." washingtonpost.com/opinions/… #TariffsHurt #TariffsareTaxes #EndtheTariffsNow

Opinion | Biden embraced Trump’s tariffs. It might be his undoing.

Voters may have railed against globalization in the past. But they also got used to the low prices.
