Trump's Dumb Tariffs
I don’t often agree with the Wall Street Journal opinion page, but they nailed this:
We’ve courted Mr. Trump’s ire by calling the Mexico and Canada levies the “dumbest” in history, and we may have understated the point. Mr. Trump is whacking friends, not adversaries. His taxes will hit every cross-border transaction, and the North American vehicle market is so interconnected that some cars cross a border as many as eight times as they’re assembled.
In their editorial titled Trump Takes the Dumbest Tariff Plunge the WSJ calls out Trump’s stupidity with the enthusiasm one might expect of an MSNBC host.
