Reposted by @chancethebasenji.bsky.socialDavid Rothkopf @djrothkopf.bsky.social · 23/04/2025There are two possibilities: Trump is either lying now about the number of good-for-the-US trade deals that will be concluded imminently or he was lying about the objectives of imposing the tariffs in the first place. As a former trade official, my professional opinion is he's lying about both. 2336766

Reducing rates when the slow-down is tariff induced will not do what Trump wants. Borrowing is not a great solution for a tariff induced show-down, as the tariffs themselves are the problem. 000
