In private conversations weeks ago, senior advisers close to President Trump warned that some tariff proposals could have devastating effects on global financial markets and send the U.S. economy spiraling.
The White House has taken pains to say administration officials are unified on the tariff effort announced on April 2, which the White House dubbed “Liberation Day.”
But internal disagreements over that policy manifested well before that, with leaders offering predictions of serious economic instability, multiple sources familiar with the exchanges told CBS News.
Did any of these people even try and explain to him how tariffs actually work…or was that a step too far?
Merkel had to explain to him how trade with the EU works eleven times. It’s quite possible people explained to him how tariffs work several times already, he’s just too stupid to understand it.
That is a very good point.
