Trump Accidentally Wrecks His Own Tariff Spin in Leaked Call - Greg Sargent [View all]
The moron is moroning.
In a call with auto CEOs, the president warned them against raising prices. Isn’t that an admission that his argument for tariffs is bogus?
Faced with expert opinion predicting that his tariffs will jack up prices for American consumers, President Trump has carefully considered a wealth of evidence surrounding this complex matter, and after extensive consultation with stakeholders on all sides, has concluded that his tariffs are a bad idea, after all.
Just kidding! Actually, Trump has decided to take another course entirely: Stung by that expert opinion, he’s now corruptly wielding executive power to warn the relevant companies that they’d better not raise prices after his tariffs go into effect—or else.
