Economists call Trump a liar.

[pknopp]

Seems Trump used the words and studies to justify his tariffs and they are saying they did no such thing.

Not uncommon for Trump. He isn't too concerned over truth or accuracy, all he expects is for you to worship him.


The emails started hitting Anson Soderbery’s inbox at about 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday night. An economist at Purdue University, friends and acquaintances were reaching out to let him know that the Trump administration had just cited one of his papers as grounds for the steep tariff rates it would impose on America’s trade partners, which the president had unveiled on giant poster boards during a Rose Garden speech hours earlier.

A few of the notes jokingly congratulated him. But how did he really feel? “Confused,” Soderbery told Yahoo Finance. After all, he said, his study had been written to discourage exactly the kinds of policies Trump was rolling out. Certainly, nobody from the administration had consulted with him.

And this is surprising? I don't discount tariffs but when you use them as stupid as the Orange Cheeto, it's dangerous.

What is it about Leftists that you don't know an opinion from a statement of fact? Are you stupid or what?

Opinions differ on what the results will be to Trump's tariff regime. He has been perfectly clear in what he is doing, and why.

Please specify Trump's "lie." Use quotation marks.

I won't hold my breath.

"steep tariff rates" is a lie
Trump's reciprocal tariff rates are half the rates of what the other countries are charging us

but why aren't the tariffs that other countries are charging us "dangerous"

but why aren't the tariffs that other countries are charging us "dangerous"

Because no one in those countries buys foreign goods.

A historian = a person who remembers that Trump's last tariffs he called moronic and ended up costing taxpayers billions.

Right on cue Larry Summers' TDS kicks in and he predicts Trump disasters, but he's always wrong.

Larry Summers says Trump's 'masochistic' tariffs will cost $300,000 per family of four

The former Treasury Secretary said an hour of rhetoric cost the economy $30 trillion.

It really doesn't matter as the point is, they never said what Trump said they said.

The article is complete nonsense. Trump Admin only referenced the Sodebery article for the elasticity coefficient they used, nothing else.

Presidential Tariff Actions

For the Presidential actions taken pursuant to his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), see below:

It is worth mentioning that the main intended beneficiaries of Trump's tariffs are working-class Americans. The reaction of Democrats is therefore at odds with their often-professed love of "the working man." Or in HRC's language, "hard-working Americans."
