Tariff Tantrum: Trump Plays Yosemite Sam With the Global Economy
A nuanced look at real trade policy vs. political cosplay with global stakes…

Buddy if you think that some hasty ill conceived tariffs will force that genie back into its bottle you have been smoking some potent shit.The goal is to lower the tariffs to zero by eliminating all trade barriers. If the EU raises their baseline tariffs, the only thing that happens is the U.S. side increases at the same proportion.
Beyond tariffs or sector specific countervailing duties, the removal of China to use the $800 de minimis exemption will destroy their economy. There is no way for manufacturers in China, marketed into the USA, to be able to survive if they are forced to collect and organize the requirements for U.S. custom and import duties. They will simply dissolve and manufacturing will return to the US.
The former presidential administrations (both parties) from Jimmy Carter to Ronald Reagan, to George HW Bush, to Bill Clinton, to George W Bush, to Barack Obama and forward to Joe Biden, all of them purposefully and with specific intent taking apart the U.S. manufacturing base through trade and economic policy.

I believe the good professor is spot on with his assessment.“We have a 20th century president in a 21st century economy who wants to take us back to the 19th century”
Why is Trump rewriting US economic history? Anyone? CNN

i doubt that very seriously myself.Of course, it is possible that I may be quite mistaken.
