THE ECONOMIST MAGAZINE SHREDS TRUMP'S "IDIOTIC" TARIFF WAR: "Trump's mindless tariffs will cause economic havoc. He has lost his grip on reality, and committed the most profound, The Economist RUINATION DAY Howto limit the global damage How MAGA could help China Penalising Le Pen Refugee-camp economics George Foreman: boxer, preacher and griller harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said yesterday-on history, economics and the technicalities of trade-was utterly deluded. Trump's reading of history is upside down. He has long glorified the high-tariff era of the late-19th century. In fact, the best scholarship shows that tariffs IMPEDED the economy back then. Tariffs made the Depression MUCH worse, just as they will harm ALL economies today. It was the painstaking rounds of trade talks in the subsequent 80 years that lowered tariffs and helped increase prosperity. Trump's assertions are flat-out NONSENSE, and his grasp of technicalities is PATHETIC!" - THE ECONOMIST, April 3, 2023
