"The #TrumpTariffs promise to 'liberate' the U.S., but the economic reality sings a different tune. Raising tariffs left and right –25% on Canada and Mexico, 10% on China– sounds patriotic, but smells of inflation and recession. Economists warn: consumers will pay more, companies will adjust costs, and employment will not rebound as in McKinley's dreams. It's a game of power, not logic. Will this protect workers or just fatten headlines? Time will tell, but history (Smoot-Hawley, anyone?) does not lie."
