Comment on New modelling reveals full impact of Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs – with the US hit hardest
ultranaut@lemmy.world 1 day agoNot really. Tariffs can accomplish legitimate policy goals but this approach of starting a massive trade war with every major trading partner simultaneously is not an effective strategy for accomplishing anything. Inflation is all but guaranteed to return now.

I honestly think that this should not be viewed to the lense of legitimate economic policy. This is blatant treason - exempting russian oligarchs from sanctions, while simultaneously crippling the US economy for decades to come.
This is no administration, it is a flat-out russian occupation of the US.

It’s not about exempting Russians specifically, it’s about bullying everyone into kissing Trump’s ring. If you run a business or a country you have to go kiss his ass in exchange for an exemption from tariffs.
