Greg Sargent Podcast: Trump Hit by Brutal New Polls on Econ as GOP Tariff Panic Goes Nuclear
Greg Sargent Podcast - (archived: https://archive.ph/jvkv8 ) Trump Hit by Brutal New Polls on Econ as GOP Tariff Panic Goes Nuclear
As Republicans scramble to defend their states and districts from Trump's looming tariffs, economist Jared Bernstein explains why they're likely to prove so destructive to the country—and to the GOP.
The Daily Blast with Greg Sargent
April 1, 2025
President Donald Trump is set to announce that he’ll impose sweeping new global tariffs on imports, and Congressional Republicans are already scrambling wildly to try to shield their states and districts from the fallout. Meanwhile, a Fox News poll finds that Trump is sliding on the economy, with the public turning against tariffs in particular. And an Associated Press survey also has terrible news for Trump on this front. Notably, all these negative consequences kicked in well before the tariffs have even started. We talked to Jared Bernstein, former chair of President Biden’s Council of Economic Advisers and now a visiting scholar at Stanford, who has a new piece on his Substack predicting the consequences could be dire. He explains why the tariffs are so wrongheaded—and why they’re likely to cause major backlash against Trump and his party. Listen to this episode here.
