The Wall Street Journal described Trump’s tariffs and ensuing trade wars with its neighbours, Mexico and Canada, as the ‘dumbest trade war’ they have ever seen.
There is not a serious, reputable economist alive that thinks Trump’s trade war is a good idea.
Yet nobody in the Republican party has the cojones to stand up and say ‘stop’.
The stock markets have been crashed by Trump’s inane actions, driven by ego, narcissism and something most serious commentators have been unable to identify yet.
But Trump’s billionaire backers will not tolerate it for much longer when the hits to their bottom lines continue without abating.
Then you will see the logical response to these moronic tariffs.
