Summary
Trump theatrically unveiled his new “reciprocal” tariffs plan in the White House Rose Garden, using charts and game-show-style rhetoric to justify sweeping import taxes on around 60 nations.
Framed as “Liberation Day,” the policy drew criticism for risking a global trade war and economic fallout.
Trump claimed unfair foreign trade practices and argued tariffs would revive U.S. industry, but experts instead warn of higher prices and job losses.
His approach blended populist messaging with economic nationalism, drawing both cheers from supporters and warnings from economists and global leaders.
I swear I heard terry savage talking about how down the road it could be a good thing on the morning news. I was one room away and I can’t be exactly sure but man if the fud is actually being taken up. wow.
If the reasons Trump was giving as to why he’s enacting a tarrif were true, over time, it might be good for the US Economy. All of the reasons were lies though… so there’s that.
