In what world do Trump's tariffs make sense? [View all]

Trump‘s tariffs make no sense as economic policy as Senator Chris Murphy explains so well in this little video. How does it make sense? That’s much darker.

They do make sense as the tool Trump is using to collapse democracy, and bully companies to come to him and beg for relief. Like he’s been bullying law firms and universities. 🔥🔥🔥
