The purported goal of Donald Trump’s broad tariffs is to bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States. But the on-again, off-again way in which the White House has approached tariffs could prevent companies from investing in the United States, says Yale School of Management professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld. J. Nicole Bivens Collinson, a former assistant chief negotiator for the U.S. trade representative, says the tariff-first strategy is a mistake: “You examine which manufacturing industries you want to try to establish, then allow the tariff to come in, because if you just tariff on the finished product, you're going to ruin any investment industrial manufacturing.”

“I was hoping to get people to pay attention to what was going on,” says Rachel Cohen, a now-former Associate at Skadden Arps, one of the handful of firms which recently made agreements with the Trump administration. “We’ve underestimated” the Trump administration’s attacks on the justice system, says Cohen. They’re coming for the big firms first, because “it’s hard to care what happens to Skadden Arps”, but it’s ultimately clients like Kilmar Abrego Garcia and others – and the rule of law – ultimately suffering the heaviest consequences. “I don’t want to be a liability to them,” says Mark Zaid, a national security attorney and co-founder of WhistleBlower Aid who has been defending whistleblowers of all party affiliations for decades. “This is the first administration who has actually targeted me because of that.”

Donald Trump has been fixated on the trade deficit recently. He keeps bringing it up to rationalize the sweeping tariffs he wants to impose on basically the entire world. But does the president even understand what it actually is? A trade deficit isn’t inherently a bad thing. It doesn’t necessarily mean that America is being “ripped off,” as Trump has suggested before. It’s an important concept to understand so let Ali Velshi explain what it actually is instead of what Trump wants you to think it is.
