Summary
Despite a temporary pause on some tariffs, economists warn Trump’s trade war continues to pose serious risks to the U.S. economy.
Current import taxes now exceed levels seen during the 1930s Great Depression. A Yale analysis estimates a $2.4 trillion tax increase over 10 years, costing households $4,400 more.
Tariffs on Chinese imports have reached 145%, driving up prices and investor anxiety. Markets briefly surged after Trump’s announcement but quickly fell again.
Critics highlight Trump’s deep misunderstanding of trade mechanics and fear long-term economic damage from persistent uncertainty.

And why he keeps suing his debtors out of existence…
Insider trading. Yea now everyone in the world can see American style capitalism is a ponzi scheme at least
